Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2001, Publicación: 90ª reunión CIT (2002)

The Committee notes 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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee recalls that Mongolia specified at the time of ratification of the Convention the minimum age for underground work of 18 years. It noted that the report received in 1994 indicated that the personnel departments of all enterprises and establishments maintain special records on workers under 18. The Committee points out that the Convention requires these records to be kept as regards persons who are less than two years older than the specified minimum age (Article 4 of the Convention). The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that records are kept in respect of persons under 20 years of age who are employed or work underground.

The Committee also noted the Government's indication that, during the last few years, old mines have been used again by the private economic entities, and that no contravention has been reported. It requests the Government to continue to supply information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice as required under Part IV of the report form.
