The Committee notes the information communicated by the Government and the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD). The Committee notes that the Government’s report refers exclusively to section 135 of Act No. 133/AN/05/5ème of 26 January 2006 issuing the Labour Code, which sets forth the procedures for reporting occupational accidents to the competent authorities. It also notes that, according to the UGTD, Djibouti has no legal framework relating directly to compensation for occupational accidents. In this regard, the Committee recalls that at the beginning of the 1990s, the Social Security Fund which manages the industrial accidents scheme had, with ILO assistance, begun the process of codifying and adapting the national legislation. This had made it possible to prepare a Bill and an implementing Order which were to be submitted to the competent authorities in order to ensure better implementation of the Convention. In this regard, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report the follow-up given to the abovementioned reform Bill. It recalls that section 135 of the Labour Code, referred to in the Government’s report, cannot be considered sufficient to implement the provisions of the Convention concerning compensation for occupational accidents.
