Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 127. At its June 2001 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the final outcome of the proceedings instituted by the trade union leaders Mr. Delfín Quispe Saavedra and Mr. Iván Arias Vildoso concerning their dismissal [see 325th Report, para. 60]. In a communication dated 24 February 2001 the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP) recalls that Mr. Arias Vildoso was dismissed in violation of his trade union immunity (as recognized by the court of first instance) and that the higher judicial authorities subsequently followed the opinion of a minority of the magistrates, with the result that he was denied reinstatement.
2. 128. In its communications dated 26 June and 29 August 2001, the Government states that, as mentioned by the CGTP, the Supreme Court of Justice declared the appeal lodged by Mr. Iván Arias Vildoso inadmissible and that the Government must abide by this decision. The Government also indicates that it will inform the Committee of the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice in the case of Mr. Delfín Quispe Saavedra as soon as it is handed down.
3. 129. The Committee notes this information. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the final outcome of the proceedings concerning the trade union leader Mr. Delfín Quispe Saavedra.
