Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2007, Publicación: 97ª reunión CIT (2008)

The Committee notes 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:

1. In its General Survey of 1999 on migrant workers (paragraphs 5 to 17), the Committee noted that the extent, direction and nature of international migration for employment have changed significantly since the Convention was adopted. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to provide copies of any new laws or regulations adopted in this area together with up-to-date information on its emigration and immigration policy. The Government is also asked to indicate the impact of current trends in migration flows on the content and implementation of its national policy and legislation in this field.

2. In view of the growing role of private agencies in international migration, the Government is asked to state whether this tendency has had any repercussions on the application of Annexes I and II of the Convention which deal with the recruitment, placing and conditions of labour of migrants for employment. If so, please indicate any measures taken or envisaged to regulate the activities of such agencies or to encourage self-regulation so as to protect migrant workers against any abuse.

3. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on migration for employment from and to Anguilla and to continue to provide information on the application of the Convention, as required by Part V of the report form.
