Convention (n° 19) sur l'égalité de traitement (accidents du travail), 1925 - Yémen (Ratification: 1969)

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. Payment of pensions abroad. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee understands from the Government’s report that the revision of the Social Insurance Code (Acts Nos 25 and 26 of 1991) has not yet been finalized, but that the Government will keep the Committee informed of any developments in this regard. The Committee therefore urges the Government to complete the process of amending section 95 of Act No. 26 of 1991 in order to guarantee the payment of pensions in case of residency abroad to nationals of a State which has ratified the Convention or to their dependants in the same conditions as to its own nationals and irrespective of the conclusion of any reciprocity agreement. Please specify the conditions under which pensions may currently be paid to Yemeni nationals in case of occupational accidents or to their dependants in the event of residency abroad, in accordance with paragraph 1 of section 95 of Act No. 26 above, and provide copies of relevant regulations adopted under this provision.
