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

White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13) - Côte d'Ivoire (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the very brief information provided by the Government in its report. It notes that the Government makes no reference to the measures adopted or envisaged with a view to prohibiting, in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 1, of the Convention, the employment of young persons under 18 years of age and women in any painting work of an industrial character involving the use of white lead, sulphate of lead or other products containing these pigments. It therefore once again requests the Government to indicate whether the Decree issuing regulations under section 23.1 of the Labour Code determining the nature of the work prohibited for women, pregnant women and young persons has been adopted and, if so, to provide a copy.
