Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

The Committee has noted with interest the information communicated in the Government's report. It notes that, while most of the Bedouin population has been sedentarised, and while there is no distinction in the law between the rights and duties of Bedouins and the rest of the national population, there are some groups which remain nomadic.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government could provide information in its next report on the number of Bedouins which still maintain a nomadic existence (Article 1 of the Convention). The Committee has noted the information in the report on the special schools established for these groups by the Ministry of Education (Articles 21 to 24), as well as the information in the report for further plans for sedentarisation. Please indicate whether any other special measures have been adopted or are contemplated as concerns the nomadic groups in the country.
