The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.
Repetition
Somalia(ratification: 2014) The Committee takes note of the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. It notes with interest the Government’s indication that a draft Labour Code (the content of which is examined in the direct request accompanying this observation), was developed in collaboration with the ILO to revise the 1972 Labour Code, and that all tripartite partners were involved in the process. It further notes that this draft Labour Code and a draft Civil Service Law are currently pending approval by the Parliament.The Committee requests the Government to inform on the adoption process of the draft Labour Code and the draft Civil Service Law and to transmit copies of the laws once adopted.
The Committee also notes the observations of the Federation of Somali Trade Unions (FESTU), received on 1 October 2020, alleging violations of the right to organize, including the right to strike, at an airport management company, as well as pressures and threats by the police against trade union officials.The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this respect.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
