Afficher en : Francais - EspagnolTout voir

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Protection against discrimination and promotion of equality in the public service. The Committee recalls that for many years it has been requesting the Government to take the necessary measures to bring into conformity with the Convention section 14(2) of Act No. 92-570 of 11 September 1992 issuing the General Public Service Regulations, which provides that “specific arrangements may be made, on account of physical fitness requirements or constraints inherent in certain functions ... to reserve access [to the public service] for candidates of one or other sex”. The Committee also recalls that section 14(1) of the Act only prohibits any distinction being made between men and women during recruitment. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s undertaking to repeal section 14(2) during the review of the Regulations and the holding of a workshop specifically to review the Act issuing the General Public Service Regulations with a view to identifying “the shortcomings, discrepancies and injustices contained in the current Regulations” and “to propose corrective measures”. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the reform of the General Public Service Regulations of 1992 is still in progress. The Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to repeal section 14(2) of Act No. 92-570 of 11 September 1992 issuing the General Public Service Regulations and trusts that it will take the opportunity provided by the ongoing review of the Regulations to consider the possibility of including provisions defining and prohibiting any direct or indirect discrimination made at least on the basis of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, at all stages of employment (access to employment and to particular occupations, as well as working conditions and terms and conditions of employment). The Committee asks the Government to ensure that equality of opportunity and treatment without any distinction on these grounds is one of the specific objectives of the public service reform. The Government is requested to provide information on the progress made in the work of revising the General Public Service Regulations and to supply a copy of the new Regulations once they are adopted.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
