Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

The Committee notes that the Government indicates that according to its constitution international agreements ratified by the Federation have direct effect in the Federation and are thus an integral part of its legislation. In this regard, the Committee would recall that the existence of constitutional provisions giving direct effect to treaties does not replace the obligation to enact texts implementing the Convention.

The Committee notes the Government’s brief report and the fact that none of the referenced legislation was attached thereto. Based on the information available, the Committee has not been able to evaluate the effect given to this Convention in the country. Against this background, the Committee requests the Government to provide a detailed report including information on the specific legislative provisions which give effect to each of the Articles of the Convention, and to submit copies of all relevant legislation.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to provide a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice including, for instance, extracts from official reports with statistics, if available, on the number of workers covered by the legislation, the number and nature of the contraventions reported, and the number, nature and causes of the accidents reported, etc. and information on any practical difficulties in the application of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2010.]
