Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

In its previous comments, the Committee noted with interest that the courts in Swaziland had recognized the right of trade unions to hold meetings for trade union purposes without prior authorization from the police, whereas section 12 of the Decree of 1973 imposes substantial restrictions on the right of organizations to hold meetings and demonstrations. The Committee asks the Government to consider amending section 12 to take account of this ruling with regard to trade unions.
