Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

Convention (n° 11) sur le droit d'association (agriculture), 1921 - Rwanda (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report contains no new information with regard to the repeal of section 186 of the Labour Code, which excludes agricultural workers from the scope of the Code. It is therefore bound to repeat the comments that it has been making in this respect since 1969 and requests the Government to take the necessary measures in the very near future to bring the national legislation into conformity with the Convention, particularly to ensure that agricultural workers are not discriminated against in relation to industrial workers as regards rights of association and combination. It also requests the Government to supply it with a copy of the Labour Code as soon as the amendments to it have been adopted.
