Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 82ª reunión CIT (1995)

With reference to section 68 of Act No. 847 of 19 December 1980 (Conditions of Service of Military Personnel) under which an application to leave the service is not receivable "(a) where an applicant has not completed his service engagement" and "(d) during a state of siege, in which case the Commander-in-Chief decides whether the application is acceptable", the Committee has been asking the Government since 1987 to supply copies of the provisions establishing the length of the period for which military personnel may undertake a service engagement and to supply information on the criteria and any deadlines to be observed in deciding upon an application to resign from the service, in the event of a state of siege, including copies of any regulations or instructions which are applicable.

The Committee notes that yet again the Government's report does not contain the information requested and hopes that it will be provided in the Government's next report so that the Committee may satisfy itself that the Convention is being observed in this respect.
