Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Japan (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes the communications from the Pensioners’ Union (Kobe Port Liaison Committee) dated 1 September 1999 and 1 September 2000, containing observations on the alleged deterioration of the dockworkers’ compensation system and encouraging the ratification by Japan of the Dock Work Convention, 1973 (No. 137). It also notes the Government’s communication stating its intention to submit its comments on the Union’s observations in its next annual report on Convention No. 102. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government’s next report will contain a reply to the comments to the aforementioned organization as well as to the Committee’s previous direct request.
