Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2024, published 113rd ILC session (2025)

Maternity Protection Convention (Revised), 1952 (No. 103) - Russian Federation (Ratification: 1956)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

The Committee recalls that the ILO Governing Body at its 349th Session, October–November 2023, on the recommendation of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group (SRM TWG), confirmed the classification of Convention No. 103 as an outdated instrument, and preliminarily placed an item on the agenda of the 121st Session of the International Labour Conference (2033) for the consideration of its abrogation.

The Governing Body requested the Office to undertake follow-up action to actively encourage the ratification of the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183), which is the most up-to-date instrument on maternity protection, in Member States in which Convention No. 103 is currently in force. Accordingly, the Committee encourages the Government to consider extending the application of Convention No. 183 to the Russian Federation.
