Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Honduras (RATIFICATION: 1983)

DISPLAYINFrench - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee notes the Government’s report and draws its attention to the following point.

Prohibition on labour inspectors having any direct or indirect interest in the undertakings under their supervision. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes once again that the Government provides no reply as to how effect is given to Article 15(a) of the Convention under which labour inspectors, subject to such exceptions made by national laws, shall be prohibited "from having any direct or indirect interest in the undertakings under their supervision". The Committee cannot emphasize too strongly the need to envisage such a prohibition on a legal basis to ensure that labour inspectors have the necessary impartiality and authority required by their functions. Referring to a previous report from the Government indicating that a relevant provision had been provided in a draft decree but was not adopted, the Committee requests the Government to take appropriate measures forthwith, with a view to introducing into legislation a provision to this effect, and would be grateful if it would keep the ILO informed of the matter.

The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government on other matters.
