Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Libya (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes with regret that, for the fifth year in succession, the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraph 3(b), of the Convention. The Committee has been drawing the Government's attention for many years to the need to amend section 38 of the Labour Code of 1980, which does not explicitly exclude from paid annual leave interruptions of work due to sickness, as required by the Convention. The Committee notes the information communicated by the Government and, in particular, that the national committee charged with examination of Conventions and Recommendations made a draft amendment to section 38. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be able to report that this draft has been adopted.
