Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

The Committee takes note of the Government's report and the information supplied in answer to its previous comments.

Article 2 of the Convention. In its previous comments the Committee recalled that the nine-hour night period prescribed by section 26 of the Labour Code is inconsistent with the Convention which provides for a period of at least ll consecutive hours. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the Ministry of Labour will address the question of incorporating the provisions of the Convention in the Labour Code when it is updated and that work on amendment of the Code has been delayed by the particular circumstances prevailing in the country. It also notes that the review of the Code will be resumed in the near future with the assistance of ILO experts. The Committee hopes that, in accordance with the Government's assurances, the provisions of section 26 of the Labour Code will be brought into line with the Convention when the Code is revised. It suggests that the Government examine the possibility of requesting technical assistance from the International Labour Office.
