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

Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention, 1925 (No. 18) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with interest the Government's statement to the effect that, following its previous comments, a draft text will be proposed by the Ministry of Labour to update the schedule of occupational diseases. It therefore hopes that the schedule of occupational diseases annexed to resolution No. 38 of 23 May 1959 will be completed in the near future so as to cover, in accordance with the Convention, all cases of poisoning by lead, its alloys or compounds or by mercury, its amalgams and compounds and their sequelae. It requests the Government to indicate in future reports the progress achieved in this respect.
