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

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Panama (Ratification: 1971)

The Committee notes from the Government's report that the draft Decree to give effect to this Convention which it noted in its 1987 observation is no longer being studied for adoption because of the development in the public administration of the country. It further notes that the new national Government has taken note of the Committee's comments and is disposed to study the possibilities of taking the provisions of the Convention into a legislative instrument after consultation with all the sectors and entities concerned.

The Committee hopes that the Government will take necessary measures to ensure the application of the Convention in the near future. It is also addressing a direct request to the Government regarding the Specifications of Public Tenders (Model Articles and Conditions) supplied with the Government's report.
