Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2002, Publicación: 91ª reunión CIT (2003)

The Committee notes the Government’s last report and, in particular, the adoption of the Workers’ Compensation Act, which, according to the Government, came into force on 1 November 2000.

The Government indicates in its report that a Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation has been established with neighbouring countries such as Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe to deal with employment and immigration issues affecting nationals of these countries. The Government also indicates that payments of workers compensation are effected through diplomatic channels. The Committee takes note of this information and would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the payment of benefits abroad also covers nationals of other States which have ratified the Convention. Please provide available statistics on the payment of these benefits abroad.
