The Committee notes with interest the adoption of Act No. 2004-017, of 6 July 2004, establishing the Labour Code.

The Committee also takes note of the Government’s response to the repeated comments concerning the settlement of all wages due to persons expelled from Mauritania following the events of April 1989. In its report, the Government states that all of those persons forced to leave the country who had contracts of employment and who returned following the normalization of the situation, have been reintegrated. The Government also states that there are currently no requests or claims before the competent bodies and that important sums of money have been granted concerning this issue. Whilst noting the reassuring indications given by the Government stating that, since 1996, instructions have been given regarding the rapid and diligent processing of all requests from the workers concerned, the Committee is surprised that, 15 years after the events in question took place, the Government is still not in a position to supply the slightest concrete element or documented information corroborating its statements. It requests the Government to provide in this regard all necessary information. The Committee trusts that the Government will spare no effort in ensuring that, in the future, situations calling into question the principles of regular payment of wages and prompt settlement of wages upon the termination of employment, will be examined with all the necessary rigour and efficiency to ensure the application of the Convention.
