Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

1. Referring to its previous direct request, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether consideration is being given to comprehensive machinery to enforce non-discrimination (as was anticipated in Senate Bill No. 119). It hopes that the Government will continue to supply information on any other legislative or administrative measures adopted to give effect to the provisions of the Convention.

2. While noting that there have been no new developments concerning resolution No. 89-463 of the Civil Service Commission, the Committee would nevertheless be grateful for information on the practical measures taken by the Commission to afford protection to persons who hold and/or express particular political or religious views. Although, according to the report, the Commission has not scheduled any special career examination for members of cultural minorities, the Committee asks the Government to indicate whether efforts are made to encourage their participation in the regular career service examination. Please also provide information on the mechanism created by the Commission to ensure equality of opportunity and treatment in employment on all of the other grounds of the Convention, pursuant to paragraph 3 of the above-mentioned resolution.
