Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

The Committee notes with regret that for the fourth year in succession the Government's report has not been received. 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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

With reference to its previous comments on the need to amend sections 18(7) and 19 B(2) of the Trade Unions and Trade Disputes Ordinance of 1959 which confer discretionary power on the Registrar to inspect trade union accounts, by restricting their application to cases of presumed infringements coming to light from the presentation of annual financial reports or to cases of complaints by members of the union, the Committee notes the Government's report which states that it plans to review its labour legislation, with the assistance of the ILO, in order to harmonize it with ratified Conventions. It asks the Government to indicate in its next report the measures that it has taken to bring the legislation into conformity with Article 3 of the Convention and national practice.
