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

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

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 with regret that the Government limited itself to reproducing information already contained in its previous report. The Government indicated, in its last report, once again, that section 11 of Order 1545 was no longer applied in practice and would be repealed on the occasion of the next revision of the labour law to bring the national legislation in conformity with the provisions of Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. The Government also stated that this review would be undertaken as soon as the tripartite consultations had been organized. In order to maintain a constructive dialogue with the ILO supervisory bodies, the Government is requested, without delay, to take all the measures necessary to bring national law into conformity with the Convention and to inform the Office of any progress made in this regard. Finally, the Committee recalls that the Government can avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office, if need be.
