Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

The Committee notes that no report has been received from the Government. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters:

1. Article 2, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention. In its previous direct request, the Committee requested the Government to supply detailed information on the system of prison work, and in particular, on the organisation of this work, on work centres, on the number of prisoners involved, on the conditions under which they work and on the services that they perform.

The Committee notes, from the Government's indications in its report, that there are no legal provisions explicitly prohibiting placing prisoners at the disposal of private individuals, companies or associations, and that, in the event of a provision of this nature being adopted, it will be forwarded to the ILO. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on this matter.

2. Freedom of workers in the service of the State to terminate their employment. With reference to the voluntary retirement of career military personnel, the Committee notes that the Government refers once again in its report to voluntary or compulsory retirement, but that copies of the provisions governing the criteria for the acceptance of retirement applications have not been supplied.

The Committee requests the Government to supply copies of the provisions governing the criteria for granting voluntary retirement to members of the armed forces, as set out in section 205 of Organic Act No. 873.

3. The Committee notes that a Bill respecting civil service and administrative careers, governing the relationship between the State and its employees, is before the Senate of the Republic for discussion and adoption. The Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the Act respecting civil service and administrative careers once it has been adopted.
