Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

The Committee notes the detailed information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments and in particular the information relevant to the application of Articles 4 and 9(1) and (2) of the Convention.

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the fact that the frequency of statistical information called for in the report form adopted by the Governing Body as regards the review of benefits in the long term in alignment with the cost of living or level of earnings does not always allow it to appreciate the full application of Article 21 of the Convention in practice. The Committee trusts that the Government will do its utmost to include the statistics requested in its next report as well as information on the increases in the periodical payments made in case of permanent disability and death.
