Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

REPETITION

START OF REPETITION

The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending June 1988. 1. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that under section 32 of the Civil Service Act, 1960, the President may dismiss any civil servant if he is satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so and that under regulation 60(i) of the Civil Service (Interim) Regulations, 1960, there shall be no appeal against a decision of this sort taken by the President. In its report, the Government states that the issue of channels of appeal available to dismissed civil servants is still receiving due attention. The Committee wants to hope that the necessary action will be soon taken, both as regards legal grounds for dismissal and regarding channels of appeal, to ensure that no civil servant is discriminated in his employment on the basis of his race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, and that the Government will indicate the specific measures taken or under consideration to this end. 2. The Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that steps are being taken to reconstitute the "National Advisory Committee on Labour" to finalise examination of the Committee's outstanding comments. The Committee however previously noted the indication given by the Government to the Conference Committee in 1986 that the "National Labour Advisory Committee" had been reconstituted in July 1985, and was examining outstanding comments of the Committee. Recalling the obligations of the Government under Article 3(f) of the Convention to indicate in regular reports action taken in pursuance of a policy to promote equality and eliminate discrimination, the Committee hopes that the Government will soon be able to provide the details called for in a direct request which the Committee is again addressing to the Government.
