Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2020, Publicación: 109ª reunión CIT (2021)

Convenio sobre la discriminación (empleo y ocupación), 1958 (núm. 111) - Kazajstán (Ratificación : 1999)

Enforcement. The Committee notes that the government does not provide information on this point. However, it notes that the CEDAW expressed concerns indicating that “the legal framework on discrimination is fragmented and does not provide effective protection against discrimination in fields such as employment” and that “[t]he law on gender equality does not establish liability in cases of violations of its provisions and lacks an effective monitoring mechanism” (CEDAW/C/KAZ/CO/5, 12 November 2019, para. 11(b) and (c)). In view of the above and of the fact that the Government did not reply to its previous direct request with regard to the enforcement of the Convention, the Committee urges the Government: (i) to take the necessary steps to ensure the effective implementation of the Convention; and (ii) to provide specific information on the implementation of the relevant legislation, as well as on all violations found by the labour inspectorate, and on the decisions of administrative or judicial courts relating to the principle established by the Convention, including the remedies granted and penalties imposed.
