The Committee refers to its previous direct requests, in which it pointed to an inconsistency of section 107 of the Decree of 24 February 1984 to revise the Labour Code, as published in Le Moniteur (No. 18-A, Monday 5 March 1984), providing for a weekly period of rest comprising at the most 24 consecutive hours, whereas Article 2 of the Convention provides for at least 24 consecutive hours.

It notes an observation of the "Haitian Trade Union Coordination" (Coordination Syndicale Haïtienne - CSH), pointing to a continuing discrepancy between the national legislation and the requirements of Article 2 of the Convention, while acknowledging that in practice weekly rest of at least 24 hours is granted to workers. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to correct this error in the near future and requests to be kept informed of any progress made.
