Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Yemen (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes with interest that a labour inspection audit was carried out by the ILO at the request of the Government in October 2009 giving rise to a number of recommendations on ways to reinforce the labour inspection system which correspond to a number of the Committee’s previous comments. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the steps taken or envisaged with a view to the progressive establishment of a labour inspection system which fully meets the requirements of the Convention. In this regard, the Committee encourages the Government to seek international financial assistance to enable it to ensure the effective functioning of the labour inspection services and to keep the ILO informed of any measures taken and the results achieved in this respect.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
