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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. It notes, in particular, the statement made by the Government according to which the provisions of the Convention will be duly taken into account on the occasion of the current revision of the Workers’ Compensation Act in order to ensure that foreign workers employed within the country (as well as their dependants) receive the same treatment as nationals in case of industrial accident, both in law and in practice. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report any progress made in this respect and communicate, where appropriate, a copy of the newly adopted legislation.
