The Committee notes that the Government’s first report has not been received.

The Committee notes the observations of the Federation of Somali Trade Unions (FESTU), received on 28 August 2015, regarding interference by the authorities in the activities of the trade unions in the telecommunications and media sector, as well as the denial of the right of collective bargaining in the country. The Committee also notes with concern that the Committee on Freedom of Association examined a case brought by the FESTU concerning particularly serious acts of interference and harassment against its leader (Case No. 3113, 380th Report). In these circumstances, the Committee trusts that the Government will take all the necessary measures to present its first report on the application of the Convention as soon as possible and that it will also provide on that occasion information in response to the observations of the FESTU.
