Article 3 of the Convention. General prohibition of night work for women. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the issue of restrictions concerning the employment of women during the night will be submitted to the House of Representatives, with the aim to carry necessary amendments to the new draft Labour Code, based on the Committee’s comments. The Committee further notes the Government’s indication that a possible ratification of the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171), is difficult at the present time since Iraq is undergoing an economic, legislative and social transitional phase aimed at putting its legislation in accordance with its economic policies. In this connection, the Committee understands that on 4 January 2014, new discussions have been initiated before the Parliament in order to adopt the new Labour Code and that they are still pending. It also understands that night work for women is still prohibited under section 78 of the draft Labour Code, unless the night work is necessary, or as a result of force majeure, for preserving raw material or perishable products. The Committee requests the Government to review in a timely manner all legislative restrictions concerning the employment of women during the night to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention and to provide information on any progress in the process of adoption of the new Labour Code.
