Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Article 9, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention. Referring to the comments which it has made for a number of years, the Committee notes that in its last report the Government undertakes, the next time it amends resolution No. 74-22 of 14 February 1974, to make the modifications needed to give full effect to the Convention by removing the possibility of disqualifying an insured person from entitlement to cash benefits in the case of inexcusable misconduct. This notion is likely to give rise to disqualification in many more instances than the few limited cases listed by this provision of the Convention, i.e. cases of criminal offence or wilful misconduct. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would keep it informed of all progress made in this area and, if applicable, to send a copy of the abovementioned resolution, as amended, with its next report.
