Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Libya (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraph 3, of the Convention. For many years, the Committee has been drawing the Government's attention to the need to amend section 38 of the Labour Code of 1980, which does not explicitly exclude from paid annual leave interruptions of work due to sickness, as required by this provision of the Convention. The Government has stated several times that it intends to take the necessary measures: it stated that the Committee responsible for examining international labour Conventions, established by decision of the Secretary of the People's General Committee of the Public Service, recommended that the competent authorities should amend section 38 of the Labour Code in order to bring it into conformity with this provision of the Convention. The Committee trusts that this amendment will be adopted very shortly.
