Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

The Committee notes the two government reports for the periods ending June 1993 and June 1994. It notes the Government's statement that the categories affected particularly badly by unemployment include refugees returning to the country, demobilized members of the armed forces and young persons seeking their first job. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to undertake the surveys required to obtain the necessary statistical data for the implementation of an employment policy. It notes with interest that the principle of the free choice of employment is established in the Constitution, and that the promotion of employment and vocational training are among the Government's principal objectives.

The Committee requests the Government to continue providing as detailed information as possible on the declaration and pursuance of a policy to promote full, productive and freely chosen employment, with reference to the questions contained in the report form. It draws the Government's attention, in particular, to the questions raised under Article 3 of the Convention, concerning the consultation of the persons affected by employment policies. It hopes that the measures that are currently being taken to examine the procedures for the establishment of representative organizations of employers and workers will achieve their results in the near future, and that the Government will thereby be in a position to give effect to this fundamental provision of the Convention. Furthermore, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the action taken as a result of the various ILO technical cooperation projects relating to employment which are being implemented and which should promote the application of the Convention (Part V of the report form).
