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

1. The Committee notes that the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention has not been received. Nevertheless, it notes the observations of the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD), received in August 2007 and forwarded to the Government in September 2007. The UGTD states that the Government favours a policy of cooperation and consultation which allows for discussion on a wide range of subjects directly affecting labour relations and the world of work as a whole. Cooperation and consultation are not limited to international labour standards but extend to other work-related social interests. The UGTD also states that employers’ and workers’ organizations are involved in the preparation and design of all sorts of strategies for the reform and improvement of national legislation, as social partners in their own right. The Committee invites the Government to make its own comments on the matters directly relating to the tripartite consultations covered by the Convention.

2. The Committee recalls that first reports are important as they enable it to assess the manner in which effect is given to ratified Conventions. It trusts that the Government will be able to provide a detailed first report on the application of each of the provisions of the Convention, together with all the information required by the report form.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2008.]
