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

Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Libya (Ratification: 1975)

1. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government indicates that the tripartite committee responsible for examining international conventions and recommendations, established by Decision No. 72 of 1985 as amended, proposes that provisions on unemployment and family allowances be introduced into the social security system. It adds that the competent legal authorities, before taking a final decision, have submitted the recommendations of the above committee to the legal department for an opinion.

The Committee notes this information with interest. It hopes that it will be possible for provisions on unemployment and family allowances to be introduced shortly into the Libyan social security system and that they will enable full effect to be given to Part IV (Unemployment benefit) and Part VII (Family benefit) of the Convention, and asks the Government to indicate the progress made in this respect in its next report. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would supply the text of the new provisions on unemployment and family allowances as soon as they are adopted, and to provide detailed information on the implementation of the above-mentioned Parts IV and VII of the Convention, in accordance with the report form adopted by the Governing Body.

The Committee also draws the Government's attention to a number of points raised in a request addressed directly to the Government. [The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1990.]
