Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - Liberia (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee refers to its general observation regarding the country’s obligations to report on ratified Conventions.

Taking due account of the crisis which has affected the country and having previously noted that there was no legislation or national policy to implement the Convention, the Committee hopes the Government will soon be in a position to provide full information on any administrative, legislative or other measures which are explicitly designed to eliminate discrimination based on all of the seven grounds prohibited by the Convention (race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin) and to promote equality of opportunity and treatment in respect of employment and occupation. The Committee also requests the Government to provide full information on how the Convention is applied in practice in conformity with Parts II to V of the report form.
