The Committee notes the observations of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) received on 24 September 2020 concerning various matters examined by the Committee in its previous comments. The Committee notes that the ITUC also denounces: (i) the arrest and detention of members of the Jordanian Teachers' Association (JTA) between 25 July and 23 August 2020; (ii) the filing of criminal charges against the JTA and its President; and (iii) the closure by the Government of the JTA offices for two years from 25 July 2020, which effectively deprives teachers and education staff of representation. Recalling that teachers are fully covered by the Convention and that the exercise of the rights to organize and to bargain collectively requires that trade union organizations be able to freely carry out their activities to defend the interests of their members, the Committee requests the Government to provide its comments on the ITUC's allegations and to ensure compliance with the Convention in all the sectors covered, including the education sector.

The Committee also notes the report of the Government (not requested) received on 16 September 2020 relating to the various points raised by the Committee in its last observation but not referring to the measures taken against the JTA contained in the observations of the ITUC. The Committee will consider the content of this report as part of the regular cycle. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to provide any other information relating to the application of the Convention, as well as a copy of the amendments to national legislation referred to in the abovementioned report.
