Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1998, publiée 87ème session CIT (1999)

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:

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee insisted on the necessity to formally abolish the condition of residence set out in section 29 of Decree No. 57-245 of 24 February 1957, so that all nationals of the States which have ratified the Convention (and their dependants) are granted the same treatment as the nationals of Djibouti with regard to compensation for industrial accidents without any condition as to residence and irrespective of the conclusion of any reciprocity agreement to this effect. In this respect, the Committee notes that the new law No. 135/AN/3rd.L to establish a Social Protection Institution which includes provisions on workmen's compensation does not seem to modify the situation. Therefore, the Committee would like the Government to indicate measures taken or envisaged to ensure full compliance of the legislation with this provision of the Convention.
