Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1999, publiée 88ème session CIT (2000)

1. Further to its previous direct request, the Committee notes from the Government's report that draft Act No. 8, concerning the express repeal of the single paragraph of section 482 of the Consolidated Labour Acts, on the dismissal of a worker in respect of whom it has been duly established by administrative inquiry that he has committed acts which prejudice the national security (which was tacitly repealed by the enactment of the 1998 Constitution), has been shelved. The Government indicates that a wider revision of the national labour legislation may include the express repeal of section 482, and undertakes to keep the Committee informed in this regard.

2. The Committee once again asks the Government to indicate the manner in which the follow-up to the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995 will be ensured in the various government bodies which deal with gender issues, including the Ministry of Labour and the Tripartite Working Group for the Elimination of Discrimination in Employment (GTDEO), working in conjunction with the National Council for the Rights of Women.
