Seguimiento dado a las recomendaciones del Comité y del Consejo de Administración - Informe núm. 349, Marzo 2008

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 194. The Committee examined this case at its March and November 2006 sessions and, on that occasion, expressed the hope that the judicial authority in the second instance would hand down a decision soon and requested the Government to keep it informed of the judgement rendered in relation to the dismissal of trade union leaders Norlan José Toruño Araúz and José Ismael Rodríguez Soto and, if a reinstatement order was issued, to take the necessary measures to comply with that order immediately [see 340th Report, paras 1143–1158; and 343rd Report, paras 146–148].
2. 195. In a communication of 5 October 2007, the Government points out that the teachers in question filed an appeal against the judicial decision in the first instance with the Managua Appeals Court, which is currently pending judgement.
3. 196. The Committee takes note of this information and regrets the long time that has elapsed without a final judicial decision in relation to the dismissal of the trade union leaders in 2003. The Committee recalls that justice delayed is justice denied, hopes that the Managua Appeals Court will hand down a decision soon and requests the Government to send it a copy of the judgement rendered.
