Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2005, publiée 95ème session CIT (2006)

Convention (n° 111) concernant la discrimination (emploi et profession), 1958 - Burkina Faso (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes with satisfaction that section 3 of the new Labour Code (Act No. 33-2004/AN of 14 September 2004) reproduces almost word for word the provisions of Article 1 of the Convention. It notes in particular that “colour” and “national extraction”, which were excluded under the 1992 Labour Code, are now covered by section 3 of the new Code.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
