Article 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of night work for women. In its previous comments, the Committee drew the Government’s attention to the fact that the Convention has long ceased to apply in either law or practice and that the Labour Code of 13 February 2008 does not contain any longer a general prohibition against night work except for young workers below 18 years of age. The Committee therefore considers that the Government of New Caledonia should take appropriate steps to ensure that it is no longer bound by the Convention, and for this purpose a declaration modifying the terms of the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention on its behalf should be communicated by the Government of France (as provided for in article 35 of the ILO Constitution). The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any further developments in this respect.
