General Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2024, published 113rd ILC session (2025)

Syrian Arab Republic

The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the fifth year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. 34 reports are now due, including on fundamental and governance Conventions, most of which should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments.

The Committee launches again an urgent appeal to the Government to send its reports without delay and advises it that, even in the absence of these reports, the Committee may fully review the application of these Conventions at its next meeting on the basis of available information.

Recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues by the Decent Work Technical Support Team for the Arab States and the International Training Centre of the ILO in 2023 and 2024, the Committee hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments.
