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

Equality of Treatment (Social Security) Convention, 1962 (No. 118) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1968)

1. The Committee hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain the information called for in relation to Articles 3 to 11 of the Convention in accordance with the report form adopted by the Governing Body of the ILO.

2. Furthermore, the Committee refers to its observation made under Convention No. 111 concerning the representation submitted under article 24 of the Constitution, as follows:

The Committee has noted that the Governing Body adopted at its 249th Session (February-March 1991) the report of the committee set up for the examination of the representation made by the National Confederation of Workers of Senegal, under article 24 of the ILO Constitution, and concerning the application of several Conventions by Mauritania.

The Governing Body has asked the Government to supply in its reports on the Conventions concerned, to be submitted not later than 15 October 1991, information on the measures taken and on their results, with a view to giving effect to the recommendations of the Governing Body to enable these questions to be followed up by the Committee of Experts.

The Committee notes that the above recommendations concern questions relating to Conventions Nos. 111 and 122 (measures to determine the nationality of persons displaced from Mauritanian territory in 1989 and who claim Mauritanian nationality and measures towards reparation for the prejudice suffered by Mauritanian nationals who were displaced), to Convention No. 95 (measures for a final settlement of the wages due to the persons concerned) and to Convention No. 118 (measures to have established and ensure the payment of any benefits due to Mauritanian nationals who have left Mauritania).

The Committee trusts that the Government will supply full information on the above questions in its reports to be submitted this year on Conventions Nos. 95, 111, 118 and 122.
