Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2004, publiée 93ème session CIT (2005)

Convention (n° 111) concernant la discrimination (emploi et profession), 1958 - Trinité-et-Tobago (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It also regrets that the Equal Opportunities Act, 2000, was declared unconstitutional by the High Court of Justice, in its judgement of 10 May 2004 (H.C.A 1526/2003), for reasons relating among others to the establishment and functioning of the enforcement bodies set up under the Act. Recalling that it had welcomed the adoption of the Act which for the first time provided legislative protection from discrimination in employment and occupation, the Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to draw up new anti-discrimination legislation applying the Convention. Please indicate any measures taken in this regard.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
