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

Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 7 of the Convention. Additional compensation in cases where injury results in incapacity requiring the constant help of another person. As the Social Security Code of 2006 does not contain provisions to this effect, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether regulations or other texts exist which guarantee, in accordance with this provision of the Convention, that in cases where injury resulting from an employment accident requires the constant help of another person, additional compensation is provided to the beneficiary.

Recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism. The Committee notes that, according to the recommendations made by the Tripartite Working Group of the Standards Review Mechanism, as approved by the ILO Governing Body, member States which have ratified the Convention are encouraged to ratify the Employment Injury Benefits Convention, 1964 [Schedule I amended in 1980] (No. 121), and/or the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102), and accept the obligations in its Part VI, as the most up-to-date instruments in this subject area (GB.328/LILS/2/1).The Committee reminds the Government of the possibility of availing itself of ILO technical assistance in this respect.
