Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2017, published 107th ILC session (2018)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Benin (Ratification: 2001)

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. Publication and communication of an annual inspection report. The Committee notes with regret that no annual inspection report has been prepared or communicated to the ILO since the ratification of the Convention in 2001. However, it welcomes the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that periodic activity reports are drawn up by the departmental labour directorates and by the Directorate-General for Labour. It therefore considers that data for the preparation of annual inspection reports should already be available. The Committee also notes that the Government has requested technical assistance from the ILO with regard to the preparation of these annual reports. The Committee urges the Government to take all possible measures with the requested ILO normal technical assistance, to ensure that annual labour inspection reports are published and sent to the ILO in the very near future.

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