Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 82ème session CIT (1995)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. With regard to vocational guidance and training, the Committee recalls the Government's previous indication that there are no specific measures for girls and that efforts are being made to promote school attendance by all children, without distinction as to sex. It once again requests the Government to supply information on the measures taken or envisaged concerning access to vocational training and employment in order to promote in practice the application of the principle of non-discrimination in these fields.

2. The Committee notes the Government's previous indications that the policy of non-discrimination is now understood by employers' and workers' organizations and that the negative attitude that had been noted previously is no longer perceptible. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report any manifestation of such a change, for example, in the form of their cooperation in promoting the acceptance and observance of the above policy, in accordance with Article 3(a) of the Convention.

3. The Committee notes the National Charter of Chad, adopted on 28 February 1991, which repeals the Constitution of 10 December 1989. The Committee notes that this Charter will fall into abeyance when a new Constitution is adopted introducing a multipartite system and at the latest 30 months after its promulgation. It requests the Government to indicate any development in this context and to supply the text of the new Constitution as soon as it is adopted.

4. The Committee notes that labour inspectors monitor the application of the Convention. It requests the Government to supply information on the activities of the labour inspection system (violations reported and sanctions imposed) and on any court rulings related to the Convention.
