Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Invalidity Insurance (Industry, etc.) Convention, 1933 (No. 37) - French Polynesia

Article 9, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its report. It notes in particular the text of Resolution No. 83-47 of 28 March 1983, section 1 of which enabled the Social Provident Fund to provide benefits in cases of physical injury caused by the practice of a sport. However, it notes that the notion of inexcusable misconduct as one of the grounds for disqualification from entitlement to benefits has not been deleted from the above-mentioned provision, but that the notion of wilful misconduct has been introduced. In this connection, the Committee can only recall that the notion of inexcusable misconduct is broader than the notion contained in this provision of the Convention. Consequently, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the practical effect given to section 1 of Resolution No. 83-47, and hopes that when the legislation is next revised the Government will adopt the necessary measures to delete the notion of inexcusable misconduct, in accordance with this provision of the Convention.
