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

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Dominican Republic (Ratification: 1956)

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 1(2) of the Convention. The Committee notes that section 5 of Act No. 87-01 of 2001 establishing the social security system, provides that nationals and persons legally residing in the country are affiliated to the social security system under the same conditions. Inasmuch as the Convention guarantees nationals of the States parties to the present Convention and their dependants the same treatment as nationals of the country without any conditions as to residence, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the way in which it ensures that foreigners working on the territory of the Dominican Republic without being resident there receive the same treatment as nationals of the country in cases of industrial accidents. Please indicate, if applicable, any social security agreement which has already been concluded or is envisaged with States parties to the present Convention, particularly Haiti, which aims to facilitate the application of the present Convention to persons injured in industrial accidents.
