Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

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:

Articles 1(1) and 7 of the Convention. Further to the comments it has been making for a number of years, inter alia, on the protection of children or young persons employed for wages, or working directly or indirectly for gain, in non-industrial occupations Article 1(1) and the requirement to keep medical certificates for fitness for employment (Article 7), the Committee notes that the Government intends to revise all labour laws and regulations to align them with ratified Conventions and the comments of the ILO’s supervisory bodies. The Committee notes that the Government again indicates that all necessary measures will be considered during the revision and that they will seek to harmonize national laws and regulations with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee takes note of this information and again expresses the hope that the Government will take all necessary steps to ensure that such harmonization is completed as soon as possible and that the measures will meet the requirements established in the Convention. It encourages the Government to request ILO assistance to that end.

Article 6. The Committee invites the Government to refer to its comments on this Article (vocational guidance and physical and vocational rehabilitation of children) under Convention No. 77.
