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

The Committee notes that the committee instituted to review the 1975 Labour Act has submitted its report which is presently under consideration by the Government.

The Committee recalls that, for a number of years, the Government has been indicating its intention to revise the 1975 labour legislation. It also recalls that the Labour Act of 1975 repealed the Labour Clauses in Public Contracts Ordinance of 1964, which had previously given effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee again suggests that the Government consider the possibility of taking the provisions of the above Ordinance into account in the review of the Labour Act.

The Committee trusts that the Government will take all necessary steps to ensure that amendments to the Labour Act are adopted in the near future in order to give effect to the provisions of this Convention, and it asks the Government to indicate any progress made.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1996.]
