Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report. Referring to section 12 of the Decree of 1973 which imposes substantial restrictions on the right of organizations to hold meetings and demonstrations, the Government indicates that this provision is null and void in practice since organizations have the right freely to hold meetings and that demonstrations have occurred on a frequent basis in the recent past. The Government further states that while this decree has not been repealed, it is considering amending section 12. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any progress made in this matter as well as to transmit a copy of the amending text as soon as it is adopted.
