Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2000 direct request, which read as follows.

The Committee notes that the draft Employment Bill, which has been under consideration for numerous years, still has not been adopted and hence the Government has again postponed supplying a detailed report on the application of the Convention. It also notes that the Support for Policy and Programme Development project, funded by the ILO, is being carried out this year to expedite the enactment of labour laws, including the draft Employment Bill.

The Committee urges the Government to take all necessary measures in the near future to give full effect in law and practice to the provisions of the Convention, and requests a detailed report in accordance with the report form.
