Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Certification of Ships' Cooks Convention, 1946 (No. 69) - Guinea-Bissau (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 4 of the Convention. Certificates of qualification. The Committee notes that there is no naval school in the country, and that, therefore, the certificates of qualification are for internal use only. The Committee hopes that the state services and national institutions will soon be operating normally again, and that the necessary legislation and practical measures to implement the Convention will be put in place. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed about any progress made in this respect.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
