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

Employment Injury Benefits Convention, 1964 [Schedule I amended in 1980] (No. 121) - Bosnia and Herzegovina (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes the first report of 2007 on the application of the Convention as well as the explanations provided by the Government that labour and employment issues are regulated autonomously by the entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska (section 1(3) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina), as well as by the Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina (section 9 of the Statute of the Brcko District of 7 December 1999). The Committee notes that the Government has not followed the report form on the Convention adopted by the Governing Body, in particular regarding the detailed indication of the provisions of the national legislation and administrative regulations or other measures, under which each Article is applied. The Government is invited to pay particular attention to the questions on the report form following each Article. The Committee also notes that the laws referred to in the report have not been attached to the report. In particular, the Committee notes the statement of the Government that benefits to which protected persons are entitled to in respect of temporary or initial incapacity for work are not calculated according to either Article 19 or Article 20 of the Convention, without providing any other information on this subject. In the light of the foregoing and taking into account the complexity due to the application of three different legal systems, the Committee requests that the Government take account of these requirements in preparing its next detailed report due in 2012. The Government may wish to avail itself of the technical assistance from the Office.
