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

Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148) - Niger (Ratification: 1993)

1. The Committee notes the Government’s report including a reply to the Committee’s previous direct request and the information that the Government was in the process of adjusting its legislation to correct the mistake regarding references to disciplinary and other sanctions for infringements of provisions in the Labour Code.

2.  With reference to its previous comment, and the fact that national legislation does not contain any specific provisions regarding air pollution, noise and vibration, the Committee notes that it had invited the Government urgently to take measures to ensure application of the provisions of the Convention. Noting that the Government previously had indicated that the drafting of legislation intended to give effect to the Convention, was in progress, the Committee notes that, in its most recent report, the Government indicates the relevant piece of legislation had been transmitted to the Government General Secretariat for adoption at the end of 2003. The Committee urges the Government to submit the relevant legislation to enable the Committee to examine the effect given to the Convention in the country.
