Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Medical Examination of Young Persons (Industry) Convention, 1946 (No. 77) - Comoros (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:

Repetition

Article 6. Physical and vocational rehabilitation of children and young persons declared unsuited to certain types of work. In its comments over a number of years, the Committee noted that the national legislation does not contain any provisions giving effect to this provision of the Convention, and noted the repeated statements by the Government that draft implementing regulations for the Labour Code were under examination. It hoped that the Government would take the necessary steps, in the context of the revision of the national legislation, to adopt a regulatory text which would meet the requirements of the Convention. In this respect, the Committee noted once again that the Government repeats its intention to take steps in the context of the revision of the Labour Code, to adopt one or more regulatory texts which meet the requirements of Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee sincerely hopes that, in the context of the revision of the national legislation, it will adopt provisions which give effect to Article 6 of the Convention and requests it to supply information on all new developments in this respect. It encourages the Government to request the necessary technical assistance from the ILO.
