Convenio sobre la indemnización por accidentes del trabajo, 1925 (núm. 17) - Suriname (Ratificación : 1976)

Article 7 of the Convention. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government states that the report on the establishment of the national social security scheme is still under study by an interdepartmental committee. It adds that it has asked the ILO for assistance with the social programme of structural adjustment which will allow it to bring national legislation into conformity with the ratified Conventions, and that an ILO mission in the social security field is expected to take place in the near future. The Committee notes this information. It once again trusts that, with the assistance of the ILO, if necessary, appropriate measures will be taken soon to adopt provisions ensuring additional compensation for victims of industrial accidents requiring the constant help of another person, in conformity with this provision of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report any progress achieved in this connection.
