Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

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

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Further to its previous comments made over several years, the Committee notes the particularly brief government report indicating that the Government will do its best in the future to publish annual labour inspection reports within the time-limits set in Article 20 of the Convention and to ensure that they contain all relevant information on the activities of the inspection service including on all those listed in Article 21 and in particular 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). It reiterates 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. The Committee trusts the Government will not fail to take the necessary measures very shortly to ensure the full implementation of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
