Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

Article 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of night work of women. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that the Tripartite Labour Advisory Council (TLAC) was convened in May 2009 and, after considering Convention No. 89, it gave its approval for its denunciation. The Committee recalls, in this connection, that the Convention will again be open to denunciation from 27 February 2011 to 27 February 2012, and that, as per established practice, at the time of communicating the instrument of denunciation the Government will have to clearly indicate the reasons which have led to its decision. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the ratification of the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171), has been the subject of similar tripartite consultations and whether any decision has been taken in this regard. The Committee would thank the Government for keeping the Office informed of any further developments concerning the announced denunciation of Convention No. 89 and the possible ratification of Convention No. 171.
