Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Dock Work Convention, 1973 (No. 137) - Iraq (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to its comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments.

It notes from the Government's report that no new legislation has been adopted on the matter in question and that recent legislation in Iraq treats all workers in the socialist sector as public servants. The Committee also takes note of the new Labour Code (Act No. 71 of 1987) whose provisions are applicable only to workers in the private, mixed and cooperative sectors and repeal the previous Code (Act No. 151 of 1970) which the Government stated was applicable to dockers. The Committee requests the Government in its next report to state the legislation which applies to dockers and the measures which give effect to the provisions of the Convention (Article 7 of the Convention).

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1994.]
