Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97) - North Macedonia (Ratification: 1991)

The Committee notes the Government’s first report and the legislation attached thereto. The Committee also notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143), which includes a number of legislative texts, most of which are in the national language and not yet available in any of the official working languages of the Office. As some of these texts are likely to be of relevance to the application of this Convention, the Committee will examine the Government’s first report once translations of the legislative texts have been obtained. The Committee notes, however, that the Government’s report provides very little or no information in reply to the questions raised in Part II of the report form approved by the Governing Body regarding Annexes I to III of the Convention (which the Government has accepted), as well as Parts III to V of the report form.

While awaiting the translation of the relevant legislation, the Committee asks the Government to provide additional information in reply to all the questions raised in Parts II, III, IV and V of the report form approved by the Governing Body, with an indication of the specific provisions in the legislation attached to the Government’s first report or in any other legislative texts that are relevant. Please provide all relevant information, including reports or surveys, statistics disaggregated by sex, administrative regulations, collective agreements and court decisions which give effect to the Convention, to allow the Committee to assess how the Convention is being applied in practice.
