- 26. At its meeting in November 2001, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the final administrative decisions and judicial verdicts handed down in relation to the case of trade union leader, Mario Alberto Zamora Cruz [see 326th Report, paras. 65 and 67], who had been dismissed.
- 27. In its communications of 14 January and 17 March 2003, the Government undertakes to communicate the rulings and decisions requested by the Committee. The Government explains in detail the status of the proceedings relating to his dismissal, in particular the proceedings in the Civil Service Tribunal (delayed as a result of the many appeals brought by the complainant; 14 of the 15 such appeals have been resolved). In addition, the Constitutional Division has rejected the complaint brought by Mr. Zamora against the Deputy Minister on the grounds that this is an allegation that can be dealt with through criminal law procedures; at the same time, the Attorney-General’s Office has issued a statement that the management board of the institution where Mr. Zamora worked has no grounds for instituting criminal proceedings against him, and that only board members who considered their honour to have been impugned by Mr. Zamora’s actions could bring private complaints and thus instigate criminal proceedings.
- 28. The Committee notes this information, and requests the Government to transmit the ruling handed down by the Civil Service Tribunal on the dismissal of the trade union official, Mario Alberto Zamora Cruz.
