Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Lebanon (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee took note of the first report of the Government, which indicated that the Ministry of Labour has an official placement service whose activities remained limited; at the same time, private placement offices functioned without supervision. The national employment agency was supposed to be in a position to start its activities once the situation in the country stabilises. The Committee hopes that this agency will be established in the near future and that it will carry out the functions provided for by the Articles of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to provide the text of Decree No. 80 of 27 June 1977 setting up the National Employment Agency and a detailed report on the application of the Convention, in accordance with the report form approved by the Governing Body.
