Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1996, publiée 85ème session CIT (1997)

Convention (n° 118) sur l'égalité de traitement (sécurité sociale), 1962 - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 5 (branch (g)) (employment injury benefit) of the Convention. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report concerning the ILO mission on social security, the results of which will be discussed at a seminar planned for the end of this year. In previous comments, the Committee had drawn the Government's attention to the need to repeal section 6(8) of Decree No. 145 of 1947, as amended, which restricts payment of employment injury pensions to beneficiaries resident abroad. The Committee expresses its hope once again that the Government will take all necessary measures in the very near future to ensure in law and in practice the payment of employment injury benefits abroad, both to its own nationals and to the nationals of any other Member which has accepted the obligations of the Convention in respect of branch (g), in conformity with Article 5.
