Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

The Committee notes that a new Constitution was approved by referendum on 4 September 1992 and that elections for Parliament were held on 18 December 1992 in the two political parties competing. The Committee also recalls its comments on different provisions in contradiction with the Convention. Noting that the Government's report contains no reply to these comments, the Committee hopes that the Government will provide full information on the following matters:

1. Article 1(a) of the Convention. The Committee noted that under section 7 of Act No. 199 of 24 October 1981 respecting national mobilization, all activity was prohibited to political parties under the penalties laid down for endangering the security of the State. The Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the Act governing political parties following the adoption of the new Constitution. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate whether Act No. 199 of 1981 remains applicable and, if not, to provide a copy of the repealing provisions.

2. Article 1(c). The Committee noted previously that the regulations to give effect to sections 104 and 109 of Act No. 212/AN/82 to issue the Shipping Code have not yet been adopted. It requests the Government to supply copies of these regulations as soon as they are adopted.
