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

Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - Burkina Faso (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes with satisfaction that section 3 of the new Labour Code (Act No. 33-2004/AN of 14 September 2004) reproduces almost word for word the provisions of Article 1 of the Convention. It notes in particular that “colour” and “national extraction”, which were excluded under the 1992 Labour Code, are now covered by section 3 of the new Code.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
