Principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that article 48 of the new Constitution refers to the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value and it asked the Government to provide information on the steps taken and the legislation adopted under this provision. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the preliminary draft amendment to General Labour Act provides that “the State, through the Ministry of Labour, shall promote the inclusion of women in work and shall guarantee the same remuneration as for men for work of equal value.” The Government also indicates that the National Plan of Action for Human Rights includes among its actions “formulating and implementing a cultural campaign for equal work, equal wages, equal opportunities and equal rights.” The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the legislative progress of the preliminary draft amendment to the General Labour Act and to provide a copy of the latest version of it. The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on the measures adopted in the context of the implementation of the National Plan of Action for Human Rights with a view to the application of the Convention.

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