Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2002, Publicación: 91ª reunión CIT (2003)

Convenio sobre los trabajadores migrantes (revisado), 1949 (núm. 97) - Belice (Ratificación : 1983)

The Committee notes that the Government’s last report does not contain any substantial information on the application of the Convention. The Committee recalls that it cannot discharge its supervisory mission with any precision without the collaboration of the national authorities. It therefore requests the Government to provide full particulars on the manner in which the Convention is applied and to supply statistical data on the number of Belize nationals working abroad and their location, as well as the origin and number of foreign nationals working in Belize.

The Committee notes the adoption of the Caribbean Community (Free Movement of Skilled Persons) Act No. 45 of 1999. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the abovementioned Act and information on its application in practice.

The Committee requests the Government to provide a detailed report on each of the Articles of the Convention, in accordance with Part II of the report form.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2003.]
