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

Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Libya (Ratification: 1975)

The Committee notes from the information supplied by the Government in its report that the National Committee for the Study of International Labour Conventions and Recommendations, established by Decision No. 72 of 1985 as amended, recommends the introduction of provisions concerning Part IV (Unemployment benefit) and Part VII (Family benefit) of the Convention into the social security scheme unless the decision is taken to denounce the above-mentioned Parts in accordance with Article 82, with the consequent disadvantages.

The Committee takes note of this statement. It ventures to remind the Government of the possibility of requesting the technical cooperation of the ILO to assist it in resolving the difficulties encountered. It therefore hopes that the Government will be in a position to take the necessary measures to introduce into the Libyan social security scheme provisions concerning unemployment benefit and family benefit so as to ensure the application of Part IV (Unemployment benefit) and Part VII (Family benefit). It asks the Government to indicate in its next report the progress made in that respect.

In addition the Committee again draws the Government's attention to a number of points which it is raising in a request addressed directly to the Government.
