Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Equality of Treatment (Social Security) Convention, 1962 (No. 118) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. According to the information provided by the Government in its last report, the Committee notes that no multilateral or bilateral social security agreements have yet been concluded by the Central African Republic with any foreign countries. The Committee recalls, however, that in its previous report the Government indicated that draft social security agreements were being discussed at expert level with the Congo, France and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report any progress made with a view to guaranteeing, through the conclusion of bilateral or multilateral social security agreements with other States concerned which have ratified Convention No. 118, the preservation of rights, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the Convention.
