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

Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148) - Niger (Ratification: 1993)

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

Repetition

The Committee notes the Government’s most recent report which is essentially a repetition of information previously transmitted, and which indicates that national legislation does not contain any specific provisions regarding air pollution, noise and vibration, and that no progress appears to have been made as to the draft legislation which is reportedly under development in order to give effect to the Convention. With reference to the fact that a significant period of time has passed since the Government ratified this Convention and undertook to implement it in the country, and that no progress appears to have been made in this direction, the Committee yet again urges the Government to take the necessary measures, and to submit any relevant legislation to the Committee to enable it to examine the effect given to the Convention in the country.

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