1. The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 90-11, of 21 April 1990, respecting labour relations, which repeals certain texts (including Decree No. 85-59 of 1985 to establish model conditions of service of workers in public institutions and administrations, and Act No. 78-12 of 1978 to establish the general conditions of employment of workers), which had been the subject of its previous comments as regards workers' political obligations.

The Committee notes with interest that, in accordance with section 17, which is contained in Title III, Chapter II: Conditions and Procedure for Recruitment, of Act No. 90-11, any provision drawn up as part of a collective agreement or contract of employment of such a nature as to discriminate in any way between workers on grounds including political belief shall be null and void.

2. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee once again hopes that measures will be taken to make formal reference to religion among the grounds upon which it is prohibited to discriminate in respect of employment and occupation.

3. The Committee also notes that section 17 of Act No. 90-11 is intended to prohibit any provision drawn up as part of a collective agreement or contract of employment that is of such a nature as to discriminate during recruitment. It hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to ensure that any discriminatory practice, under the terms of the Convention, is also eliminated between workers during the course of employment, in respect of both terms and conditions of employment and the termination of the employment relationship.
