Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Iraq (Ratification: 1951)

Further to its previous comments made over several years, the Committee notes the particularly brief government report and the report on the activities of the inspection services for 1992. The Committee wishes to point out the need for the Government to submit reports on the application of this Convention in accordance with the report form approved by the Governing Body. It also notes that once again the Government has submitted an annual report on the activities of the inspection services that does not conform to the requirements of the Convention regarding publication of such reports within the time-limits set in Article 20 of the Convention, and the need to provide, in these reports, all relevant information on the activities of the inspection service including on all those listed in Article 21 and in particular in Article 21(c) (statistics of workplaces liable to inspection), Article 21(d) (statistics of inspection visits), and Article 21(e) (statistics of violations and penalties imposed). The Committee trusts the Government will not fail to take the necessary measures shortly to ensure the full implementation of the Convention.
