The Committee notes the statement made by the Government representative to the Conference Committee in 1997, as well as the discussion which took place therein and the resulting special paragraph in the Conference Committee's report for continued failure to implement the Convention. It must once again express its profound regret that it has not received a report from the Government, despite the fact that the Conference Committee, in its conclusions, had urged the Government to supply a detailed report to the Office. It notes with particularly grave concern that the most recent Government report was received over three years ago.

In these circumstances, the Committee cannot but note with the deepest regret that it has been commenting upon the continued failure to apply this Convention, both in law and in practice, for over 40 years now. In its previous comments, the Committee had urged the Government, in particular, to adopt the measures necessary to ensure the right of workers to establish, without previous authorization, and to join, subject only to the rules of the organization concerned, first-level unions, federations and confederations of their own choosing for the furtherance and defence of their interests and to ensure the right of first-level unions, of federations and of confederations to affiliate freely with international organizations (Articles 2, 5 and 6 of the Convention). As no information whatsoever has been communicated to the Office in this regard, the Committee must once again urge the Government to adopt, as a matter of urgency, the necessary measures to ensure fully the right to organize, and the right to affiliate with international organizations, without impediment.

[The Government is asked to supply full particulars to the Conference at its 86th Session.]
