Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2007, publiée 97ème session CIT (2008)

1. Articles 1–7 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s brief first report on the application of the Convention. It also notes that the report does not provide any information on the provisions of national laws or regulations or other measures giving effect to the Convention. The Committee recalls the obligation on all member States, under article 22 of the Constitution of the ILO, to submit reports on the effect given to ratified Conventions that are to be prepared according to the report forms adopted by the Governing Body of the ILO. Under the heading “Practical guidance for drawing up reports”, the report forms request, in case of first detailed reports following the entry into force of the Convention for a State, “full information ... on each of the provisions of the Convention and on each of the questions set out in the report form”. The Committee requests the Government to submit a detailed report on the application of the Convention, in accordance with the report form.

2. Part V of the report form. The Committee particularly draws the Government’s attention to Part V of the report form and requests the Government to provide additional information in its next report on the number of labour inspections carried out, the number of contraventions reported, particularly the nature of these contraventions, and on the number of workers covered by this Convention.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2008.]
