Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1989, Publicación: 76ª reunión CIT (1989)

Convenio sobre los trabajadores migrantes (revisado), 1949 (núm. 97) - Brasil (Ratificación : 1965)

Article 6, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention. In relation to the Committee's previous comments indicating that equality of treatment should be assured to all migrant workers regardless of a reciprocity agreement, the Government indicated in its reports received in 1987 and 1988 that it had decided to undertake appropriate studies to bring the legislation into harmony with the Convention on this point. In its last report the Government states that the new Constitution of 1988 guarantees equality of rights and treatment to foreign workers who enjoy the same rights in social security as nationals. The Committee trusts that the next report will contain information on the measures taken as a result of the studies mentioned earlier to guarantee to all immigrants equality of treatment in respect of unemployment and family benefits, in accordance with the Convention and the new Constitution.
