Convenio sobre la igualdad de trato (seguridad social), 1962 (núm. 118) - Suriname (Ratificación : 1976)

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Payment of benefits abroad. The Committee notes from the report that, while the Government has not been able to amend section 6(8) of the Industrial Accidents Act (No. 145 of 1947) which restricts payment of employment injury pensions to beneficiaries resident abroad, the Ministry of Labour, Technological Development and Environment is committed to continuing the efforts to amend this Act in order to bring it into conformity with the Convention. The Government further indicates that it will have to review the practical implementation of Article 5 of the Convention, as making benefits payable abroad causes difficulties in practice. The Committee expects that the Government’s next report will indicate real progress achieved in this respect.
