Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1997, Publicación: 86ª reunión CIT (1998)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

In its previous comments the Committee noted the Government's indication that there is no legislation governing resignation by civil servants but that in practice the Government permits them to freely leave the civil service on their own initiative, and that with regard to the various categories of career members of the armed forces of Liberia, resignation is possible after five, 15 or 25 years respectively for enlisted men, officers or generals.

The Committee again requests the Government to send copies of the provisions governing engagement in and resignation from the armed forces as well as of the Civil Service Act and the Standing Orders of the Civil Service, and information on any measures taken or contemplated to enable officers and generals in peacetime to leave the service in the armed forces before the expiration of 15 or 25 years respectively, subject to giving notice of reasonable length.
