General Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Somalia

The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the third year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. Twenty-one reports are now due, including the first reports on the application of the Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97), the Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143), the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144), the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), and the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190). Some of the reports due should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments, including on fundamental Conventions.

On the basis of the decision of the Committee concerning the treatment of urgent appeals, the Committee decided to examine, at this session, the application of Conventions Nos 22, 23, 45, 85, 95 and 111 for which the reports have not been received for three years or more, based on public information at its disposal.

Recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues this year by the ILO Decent Work Team for North Africa and the International Training Centre of the ILO, the Committee firmly hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments.
