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

The Committee notes the information communicated by the Government and the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD) concerning the manner in which the Convention is applied in Djibouti. The Committee notes, however, that the Government’s report does not contain any mention of the draft update of the schedule of occupational diseases, which, according to the Government’s previous report, was to have been proposed by the Ministry of Labour with a view to completing the national legislation on occupational diseases. This amendment would have allowed for the consideration, in accordance with the Convention, of all cases of poisoning by lead, its alloys or compounds or by mercury, its amalgams and compounds, and their sequelae, such as occupational diseases, when such cases are associated with certain industries or occupations. The Committee therefore asks the Government to indicate, in its next report, the progress made with a view to amending the schedule of occupational diseases annexed to resolution No. 38 of 23 May 1959 so as to bring it fully into line with the Convention.
