Underground Work (Women) Convention, 1935 (No. 45) - Somalia (RATIFICATION: 1960)

DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee notes that the Government’s overdue report on Convention No. 45 has not been received. In light of its urgent appeal launched to the Government in 2022, the Committee proceeds with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal.
The Committee recalls that at its 334th Session (October–November 2018), the Governing Body of the ILO decided, on the recommendation of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group, to classify Convention No. 45 as an outdated standard, and to place on the agenda of the 112th Session (2024) of the International Labour Conference an item concerning the abrogation of the Convention. The Governing Body also requested the Office to take follow-up action to actively promote ratification of up-to-date occupational safety and health instruments, in particular the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), and to launch a campaign to promote ratification of that Convention.
The Committee therefore encourages the Government to give effect to the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 334th session (October–November 2018) to approve the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group and to consider the possibility of ratifying more up-to-date instruments in this area. In this respect, the Committee recalls that the Government may avail itself of ILO technical assistance.
