Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97) - Montserrat

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government's report that with the repeal of the Emigrant Labourers Protection Act (Cap 135) and the Emigrants Protection Act (Cap 136), no legislation exists any longer to give effect to the Convention. The Committee would appreciate it if the Government would indicate in its next report whether other provisions are envisaged and what are now its national policies relating to emigration and immigration. Please provide information on the numbers of foreign nationals employed in the country and of nationals employed abroad.
