Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Niger (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes that pending the adoption of a decree to issue the regulatory part of the Labour Code, regulatory provisions on weekly rest are set by Decree No. 67-126/MFP/T of 7 September 1967 as amended by Decree No. 68-04/PRN/MFP/T of 17 January 1968. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any progress towards the adoption of the new implementing Decree.

Finally, the Committee takes this opportunity to recall that, based on the conclusions and proposals of the Working Party on Policy regarding the Revision of Standards, the ILO Governing Body has decided that the ratification of up to date Conventions, including the Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14), and the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106), should be encouraged because they continued to respond to current needs (see GB.238/LILS/WP/PRS/1/2, paragraphs 17–18). The Committee accordingly invites the Government to contemplate ratifying Convention No. 106 and to keep the Office informed of any decisions taken or envisaged in this respect.
