Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons) Convention, 1983 (No. 159) - Yemen (Ratification: 1991)

In its previous direct requests, the Committee indicated that it had not been able to undertake an analysis of the application of the Convention because none of the legislation mentioned in the Government’s reports was provided and was unavailable in the Office. In a report received in October 2005, sent in reply to the direct request of 2004, the Government referred to the following texts:

–      Disabled Care and Qualification Law No. 61 of 1999;

–      Disabled Welfare and Qualification Fund Law No. 2 of 2002; and

–      Executive by-laws for both laws.

By its communication despatched on 16 February 2006, the Office informed the Government that the enclosures had not been received.

The Committee notes with regret that the copies of the legislative texts by which the Government intends to apply the Convention have not yet been made available and again requests the Government to provide copies of the above texts. It would appreciate receiving copies of any regulations relating to the matters covered by the Convention and information on policies and programmes implemented in accordance with this legislation that may be relevant, including statistical information on the application of the Convention in practice (Part V of the report form).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2007.]
