Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169) - Argentina (Ratification: 2000)

The Committee notes the observations of the General Confederation of Labour of the Argentine Republic (CGT RA) received on 23 August 2022. In its observations, the CGT RA refers, among other aspects, to the persistent failure to carry out the territorial studies necessary to determine the lands that indigenous peoples have traditionally occupied, as provided for in Law 26.160 of 2006, as well as to acts of violence linked to the lack of land regularisation. The CGT RA also refers to the worrying safety conditions at work and high levels of labour informality affecting indigenous workers. The Committee requests the Government to provide its reply to the observations submitted by the CGT RA.

The Committee also notes that the Government’s report due this year has not been received. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide a detailed report containing updated information on the issues raised in its previous comments.
