Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Iraq (Ratification: 1960)

The report states that the Pensions and Social Security Department has resumed since 2006 compilation of statistics on the number of occupational accidents registered throughout the country since 2006 and that work has continued in regard to investigation and compensation of work-related accidents covered by the Pensions and Social security Act of 1971. Given the profound changes that have occurred in the country, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply with its next report detailed information on the manner in which national law and  practice give effect to the main provisions of the Convention requiring payment of compensation and medical and pharmaceutical treatment to the victims of occupational accidents (or their dependents in case of death).
