Convention (n° 111) concernant la discrimination (emploi et profession), 1958 - Bosnie-Herzégovine (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes the communication of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SSS BiH) dated 20 August 2009. The communication refers to the conclusions of the Governing Body, from November 1999, regarding workers who had been dismissed from two undertakings on the grounds of national extraction or religious belief (the representation made pursuant to article 24 of the ILO Constitution by the Union of Autonomous Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina (USIBH) and the Union of Metalworkers (SM)), stating that the situation has not been resolved. The communication also refers to discriminatory job advertisements. The Committee asks the Government to reply to the issues set out in the communication of the ITUC and the SSS BiH regarding the progress of implementation of the recommendations of the Governing Body and with respect to the existence of discriminatory job advertisements, and to indicate the steps being taken to address these matters.

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