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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Viet Nam (Ratification: 1994)

Referring also to its observation, the Committee would draw the attention of the Government on the following points.

Articles 19, 20 and 21 of the Convention. Periodical and annual reports on inspection activities. Noting that the periodical reporting system from the provincial branches to the national inspectorate are not operating effectively enough, and that copies of annual inspection reports have not been transmitted to the ILO, the Committee requests once again the Government to take appropriate measures so that periodical reports will be submitted regularly to the central authorities by the inspection services and an annual report will be published and communicated as prescribed in these provisions of the Convention.

Adoption of a new Labour Code. The Committee has taken note of information from the sources available to the ILO that the revised Labour Code was passed in the National Assembly and proclaimed by the State President in April 2002, and that it will come into force on 1 January 2003. The Committee hopes that the Government will send to the ILO a copy of the new Labour Code and regulations adopted under the Code.
