Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention, 1925 (No. 18) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1934)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the list of occupational diseases provided for by section 81 of the Basic Social Security Act (Decree No. 627 of 1981) has still not been established. It observes that the list of occupational diseases provided for in section 84 of the Labour Code continues to be considered as the only one in force until the list of occupational diseases provided for under section 65 of the Social Security Act, and in section 138 of the Regulations issued thereunder, has been drawn up. In these circumstances, the Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the new list when it is adopted.
