Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Lebanon (RATIFICATION: 1962)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee refers to its earlier comments and recalls that the night period of nine hours laid down by section 26 of the Labour Code is not in conformity with the provisions of the Convention, which lay down a period of at least 11 consecutive hours. It notes with interest from the last report of the Government that a new draft Labour Code contains a provision to this end. The Committee hopes that the draft will be adopted shortly and requests the Government to indicate any progress made.
