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

The Committee notes that 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:

1. The Committee notes that a draft Act relating to the national policy on vocational training will be submitted immediately to the competent authorities for adoption. It also notes that a National Training and Advance Training Centre will be operational in the near future and that, to date, vocational training has been organized sporadically as the need arises and with available means which are still limited. The Committee hopes that the Act relating to the national policy on vocational training will be adopted in the near future and that the Government will be able to send it the text. It would also be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report information on the number and types of vocational training carried out, on the results obtained and the percentage of women who participate in such training.

2. The Committee takes note of the 1992 statistics concerning the distribution of the active population by occupational category and sex, by branch of activity and sex, and by professional status and sex, for the private sector excluding agriculture and self-employment. Noting that only 105 out of 1,287 senior administrative managers are female and that the female economically active population is concentrated in agriculture and stock-raising, the Committee asks the Government to supply in its next report indications of the measures taken, in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, to promote the national policy of non-discrimination in employment on the basis of sex. It also asks the Government to supply statistics of this nature showing the distribution of men and women throughout the different levels of the public service.

3. The Committee asks the Government to supply information in its next report on the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that persons belonging to the Tutsi and Batwa minorities do not suffer any discrimination and enjoy, in law and in practice, equality of opportunity and treatment in the fields covered by the Convention. In particular, it would like to receive information on:

(a) the situation of persons belonging to these minorities as regards access to education, vocational training and employment, together with relevant statistics; and

(b) any quota system having the effect of restricting access of members of these minorities to education, training and public service jobs.
