Definitive Report - Report No 239, June 1985

1. 150. The complaints are contained in communications received from the National Trade Union Co-ordinating Body (February, 10 April and 4 June 1984), the World Confederation of Labour (21 August 1984), the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (31 October 1984) and the World Federation of Trade Unions (8 November 1984). The Government replied in communications dated 26 November 1984 and 7 February 1985.
2. 151. Chile has ratified neither the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No.087), nor the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No.098).

A. The complainant's allegations

1. 152. The complainants allege that for more than ten years, the Government has denied a great number of trade union officials the right to live in Chile and that they are forced to live in exile. According to the complainants, the officials concerned have not been legally tried and are consequently serving a sentence of indefinite exile which no competent court has pronounced.
2. 153. The complainants add that in September 1984, the Ministry of the Interior submitted to the international airlines a list of 4,942 persons (including many trade union officials) forbidden to enter the country, so that the airlines operating in Chile would consult the International Police in Santiago before selling a ticket to any of the persons concerned wishing to fly to Chile. Amongst those officials involved is Héctor Cuevas, National President of the Confederation of Building Workers, who was arbitrarily exiled in 1982.
3. 154. The complainants add that recently, the exiled officials' situation has worsened, since the Government has given up the system of issuing periodically lists of Chilean citizens authorised to return to the country. Consequently, every exile has to request individually authorisation to return.
4. 155. The list of exiled persons provided by the complainant organisations and information on the latter are attached as an Annex to the present case.

B. The Government's reply

1. 156. The Government states that the subject-matter dealt with in the present case is irrelevant to freedom of association and considers that it is outside the Committee's competence. The Government is of the opinion that the Committee has been called upon to examine matters of a clearly political nature or which pertain to the police and adds that it notes with concern that the Committee has accepted to deal with claims of this nature, which detract from its true function and should be referred to other fora or bodies dealing with political issues.
2. 157. The Government adds that the exile of those persons mentioned by the complainants is in no way connected with trade union activities or with the fact that any of them might have been a trade union official at some point during his life. With respect to these persons, the Government states that the head of the Trade Union Organisations Branch of the Department of Labour has certified that he compared the list of names with the Branch file of trade union officials and that none of the persons on the list is registered as a practising trade union official; furthermore, there are no records indicating that they might once have been officials (in this respect, the Government encloses a certificate dated 19 December 1984, from the Head of the Trade Union Organisations Branch of the Labour Department).
3. 158. The Government claims that many of the persons amongst the 128 names cited by the complainants either held a ministerial position or were municipal authorities, members of parliament or well-known leaders of political parties and that they left the country of their own free will or sought asylum in the embassies accredited to the country.
4. 159. According to the Government, many of the persons named in the list had taken an active part in violent political actions aimed at overthrowing the country's democratic structures. Aware of their acts and following the military takeover of 11 September 1973, they sought exile in the foreign embassies accredited to the country. It is for this reason, that several of the persons listed are forbidden to enter the country and must first contact the International Police Department in Santiago before the airlines may sell them a ticket to Chile.
5. 160. The Government points out that some of those on the list were tried and sentenced to imprisonment by the courts for having committed offences under the State Security Act No. 12927 of 1958 and under Act No. 17798 of 1972 on arms control. In these circumstances, the prison sentences were commuted to exile, and those concerned consequently left Chile to settle abroad in the country of their choice.
6. 161. The Government also states that some of the persons mentioned on the list are, at present, not forbidden to enter the country.
7. 162. Finally, the Government provides information, contained in the Annex, on each of the persons mentioned in the complainants' list.

C. The Committee's conclusions

1. 163. Before examining the substance of the various aspects of the case, the Committee wishes to point out, concerning the Government's statement that the matters submitted by the complainants are of a political nature and, as such, fall outside the Committee's competence, that the role of the Committee is primarily to examine whether the allegations placed before it are linked or not with the exercise of trade union rights. In the present case, the Committee considers that the allegations before it, as they have been presented by the complainants, would seem to be prima facie within its specific competence and must therefore be examined by it; during this examination, the Committee may, in the light of all the information at its disposal, reach the conclusion that there has been an infringement or restriction of trade union rights or, on the contrary, that the issues involved are indeed unrelated to freedom of association.
2. 164. The Committee notes that, in the present case, the complainants have alleged the forced exile of 128 trade union officials and trade unionists. The Committee also notes that the case of one of them, Héctor Cuevas, has already been examined by the Committee. (See, for example, 226th Report, Case No. 1170, paras. 348-387, 230th Report, para. 21 and 233rd Report, para. 26.) In those cases, the Committee requested the Government to take as rapidly as possible the measures necessary to allow Héctor Cuevas to return to the country.
3. 165. In reply to the allegations, the Government has basically stated: (1) that some of the persons mentioned by the complainants (22) are not forbidden to enter the country; (2) that a further 86 persons held or were candidates for political positions, were political activists or took part in violent political actions; (3) that 20 persons were tried and sentenced by the courts for having violated the State Security Act and the Act on arms control and that their prison sentences were commuted to exile; and (4) that, with the exception of Héctor Cuevas, there are no records showing that the persons mentioned by the complainants have been trade union officials. The complainants, on the other hand, explicitly stated that practically most of the persons concerned were trade union officials, mentioning in the majority of cases the trade union organisation or branch of activity to which they belonged.
4. 166. The Committee therefore notes that there exists a contradiction between the allegations and the Government's reply concerning the trade union status of the exiled persons referred to. The Committee would also like to point out that some of the actions penalised by the State Security Act (which served as grounds for sentencing several persons mentioned by the complainants, whose prison sentences were commuted to that of exile), might possibly, in the case of some of the persons mentioned by the complainants, be related to the exercise of trade union rights; indeed, this Act specifically contains provisions concerning action such as: the disruption or suspension of services such as electricity and water; work stoppages or strikes in the public sector or in public utility services or in production, transport and commercial activities, carried out without compliance to the law, and resulting in breaches of the peace; disturbances in public utility service or in those which must continue functioning by law; and damage to any of the essential industries.
5. 167. In view of the previous conclusions and since it does not have sufficient information at its disposal to arrive at a separate decision on each of the persons who remain in exile, the Committee recalls the principle that forced exile of trade union leaders and unionists constitutes a serious infringement of human rights and trade union rights since it weakens the trade union movement as a whole (See, for example, 230th Report, Case No. 1170 (Chile), para. 21.) when it is deprived of its leaders. It considers that any measures taken to enable those persons still in exile to return to the country could contribute towards establishing an atmosphere more favourable for the exercise of civil and trade union rights. The Committee expresses its serious concern at the contradiction between the complainants'allegations and the Government's reply as regards the trade union status or functions of the exiled persons. It regrets that the Government has not supplied more detailed information on the basis of which the Committee might determine whether their exile was in any way connected with their trade union status or functions. The Committee would appreciate any further information that the Government or the complainants may have to communicate regarding this question.
