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

Medical Examination of Young Persons (Underground Work) Convention, 1965 (No. 124) - Uganda (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee notes 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:

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the Government has still not taken the necessary measures to give effect to Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention (X-ray film of the lungs), and to Article 4, paragraphs 4 and 5 (keeping of records on persons under 21 years of age). It recalls that the questions arising from the application of these provisions have been the subject of comments for many years.

The Committee takes note of the Government's assurances that these questions are being addressed. It trusts that the Government will be able to adopt the necessary measures in the near future.
