Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee had taken due note that according to the Government sections 113, 114 and 117 of the Proclamation on Labour ensure that workers' and employers' organizations have the right to organize freely without external interference.

Observing that the legislation contains no specific provisions, accompanied by effective and sufficiently dissuasive punishments, providing sanctions for an employer responsible for acts of interference in a workers' organization, particularly acts designed to support a workers' organization by financial or other means, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures it has taken or envisages to give full effect to this provision of the Convention.
