Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Sénégal (Ratification: 1960)

In its previous observations, the Committee noted that a Bill had been prepared in order to exclude trade union organisations from the scope of Act No. 65-40 of 22 May 1965 concerning seditious associations, which permits the dissolution by decree of associations or groups whose activities would be such as to disrupt, by unlawful means, the functioning of the constitutional order.

The Committee notes that discussions on this Bill are continuing between the Ministries of Labour and the Interior.

The Committee trusts that the Bill will be adopted in order to give full effect to Article 4 of the Convention which prohibits any dissolution of workers' organisations by administrative authority.
