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

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Bosnia and Herzegovina (Ratification: 1993)

Display in: French - SpanishView all

Article 2 of the Convention. Scope of application. In its previous comment, the Committee noted that both in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and in the Republika Srpska (RS), there were two main laws regulating the right to associate: on the one hand, the FBiH Labour Act and the RS Labour Act and, on the other hand, the FBiH Act on Associations and Foundations and the RS Act on Associations and Foundations. As the scope of these laws differs, the Committee noted that specific categories of workers were not covered by all the guarantees of the Convention. It therefore requested the Government to revise the relevant legislation to ensure that all workers, including workers without an employment contract, domestic workers, agricultural workers, workers in the information economy and self-employed workers enjoy, in law and in practice, all the rights guaranteed by the Convention. In the absence of any further information on this matter provided by the Government, the Committee reiterates its previous request in this respect.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
