Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97) - Mauritius (Ratification: 1969)

Article 4 of the Convention. Emigration for employment. With respect to section 4(2) and (3) of the Recruitment Act, 1993, which requires the examination of the record of a candidate for emigration for the past ten years, and which is contrary to the Convention, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that necessary action is being initiated in view of the amendment of the Recruitment Act, 1993, and review of section 4 will be considered within this process. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee urges once again the Government to take the necessary steps to review section 4 of the Recruitment Act, 1993, in order to correct the situation without delay and to provide information on the results achieved through the legislative review.

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