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

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Azerbaijan (Ratification: 1992)

The Committee notes with satisfaction that the Law on Trade Unions of 24 February 1994 allows for the possibility of trade union pluralism and guarantees the right to strike. However, the Committee notes that the Law contains a total ban on the political activities of unions and that the Government does not, in its report, set out in any specific detail the right of employers to organize. It therefore raises a number of points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
