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

Placing of Seamen Convention, 1920 (No. 9) - Cameroon (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes that the Government's report does not contain a reply to its previous comments. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's intention to introduce new measures in order to give effect to this Article of the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the measures taken in this respect in its next report (the constitution of committees consisting of an equal number of representatives of shipowners and seamen to advise on matters concerning the carrying on of placement offices).

Article 10. The Committee hopes that the Government will supply in its next reports the statistics and other information that is required to be transmitted by this Article. In particular, please supply the available data concerning the activities in respect of seamen of the employment agencies in Kribi, Limbé and Dovala.
