Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee takes note of the Government's report. It notes, in particular, the statistical information on the practical application of the Convention.

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the revision of Decree No. 57/245 of 24 February 1957 is to be entrusted to an ILO expert on industrial accidents who will shortly conduct a technical assistance mission in regard to the Social Benefits Fund. In the circumstances, it can only express the hope that the revision of the above-mentioned Decree will enable the condition of residence provided for in section 29 to be formally abolished, so that all the nationals of the member States of the ILO that have ratified the Convention are granted the same treatment as the nationals of Djibouti with regard to compensation for industrial accidents without any condition as to residence and irrespective of any reciprocity agreement in this behalf.
