Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes a report will be supplied for examination at its next session containing information in reply to its previous direct request which read as follows:

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's indication that there are no arrangements to promote the effective cooperation and collaboration between the inspection services and other government services and public and private institutions, as well as employers and workers or their organisations. It would be glad if the Government would indicate any measures taken or envisaged in this respect.

Articles 6 and 7. The Committee notes the Government's indication that training is urgently required for inspection staff. Please indicate any measures taken or envisaged - perhaps with the technical cooperation of the ILO - to ensure that the requirements of these Articles are met.

Articles 16, 20 and 21. Further to its earlier comments, the Committee notes that the present strength of the inspection staff enables inspection visits to enterprises at least once a year. It has also noted the view of the Aruba Trahadornan Federation (FTA) that the Government should be more active in safeguarding the rights of workers under the Convention. It recalls the importance of publishing regular inspection reports as required by the Convention, as a means of assessing how the inspection system is working and what further measures are called for. It hopes that the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that an annual report is published and forwarded to the ILO, and that it contains all the information required by Article 21. Please include details in the next report.
