Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2003, publiée 92ème session CIT (2004)

The Committee has noted the Government’s report, including the Government’s indications concerning measures taken to combat trafficking in human beings, provided in reply to the Committee’s general observation of 2000.

Freedom of public servants to leave their employment. The Committee previously requested the Government to supply a copy of the legislation governing the public service (general orders). It noted from the Government’s report of 1998 that the social partners had completed their review and amendments to the general orders, and that the result of the review was to be approved by the competent authority. In its latest report received in 2002, the Government indicates that the review of the general orders was halted, but individual articles are being amended, if necessary. It also states that, since the adoption of the Employment Act, 2001, a comprehensive review of the general orders has become necessary. While noting this information, the Committee again requests the Government to communicate a copy of the general orders now in force, including the amendments, and any other provisions relating to the freedom of public servants to leave the service.
