Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2000, Publicación: 89ª reunión CIT (2001)

Convenio sobre la discriminación (empleo y ocupación), 1958 (núm. 111) - Guinea (Ratificación : 1960)

1.  The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report. Referring to its previous comments concerning the public service, the Committee notes that the Government repeats the indication contained in earlier reports that the Civil Service Act is still in the process of being revised. In this regard, the Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will amend section 20 of the Order of 5 March 1987 on the general principles of the public service (which prohibits discrimination only on the basis of philosophical or religious views and sex). The Committee recalls that, where provisions are adopted to give effect to the principle of non-discrimination contained in the Convention, they should include all of the grounds set forth in Article 1(1)(a) of the Convention.

2.  The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.

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