1. With reference to its previous observation concerning the implementation of the recommendations of the Committee set up by the ILO Governing Body to examine the representation made under article 24 of the ILO Constitution concerning, in particular, the employment situation of the Mauritanian nationals who were displaced in 1989 during the conflict with Senegal, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its brief report.

2. The Committee takes due note of the Government's general indication that anyone providing proof that he or she is of Mauritanian nationality and has held a job in Mauritania has had his or her entitlements re-established. So that it can ascertain the progress made in the implementation of the above-mentioned recommendations of the Governing Body Committee, the Committee asks the Government to provide details of the measures taken in practice to provide adequate compensation to Mauritanian workers whose employment was adversely affected (loss of job, wages, acquired social rights) as a result of being forcibly displaced. It would appreciate in particular detailed information on the measures taken (and the results obtained, backed up by statistical data) to implement the decision taken in November 1993 by the Joint Mauritanian-Senegalese Committee, concerning payment by the bodies responsible of retirement pensions and wages in arrears to the respective nationals of the two countries for the period that has elapsed since April 1989. It also asks the Government to provide detailed information on the implementation of the government programme for the reintegration into the labour market of the workers who suffered as a result of these events and the results obtained, for example, the number of public employees and civil servants who have been reintegrated into the public administration as compared to those who had to leave the country following the events of 1989.

3. The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government concerning other points.
