Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2007, Publicación: 97ª reunión CIT (2008)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

In response to the comments that the Committee has been making for several years concerning the harmonization of the national legislation with the requirements of the Convention as regards Part X (Survivors’ benefit), Articles 60 to 64, and Part XIII (Common provisions), Articles 70 and 71, paragraph 1 (in relation with Part VII (Family benefit), Article 39), of the Convention, the Government indicates that the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance has taken steps to convene the 30th Session of the National Labour Council with a view to examining and adopting draft legislation to issue a Social Security Code. In this situation, the Committee suggests that the Government might have recourse to ILO technical assistance to ensure that the above draft legislation contains provisions giving effect to the above requirements of the Convention. Furthermore, the Committee notes that the Government has not complied with its obligation to provide a detailed report in 2006 containing the information and statistics requested in the report form on the Convention adopted by the Governing Body of the ILO. The Committee therefore requests the Government to supply a detailed report for examination at its next session in November-December 2008, also containing full particulars of the progress made in the work of the National Labour Council and other bodies involved in the process of adopting the new Social Security Code.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
