Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Philippines (Ratification: 1953)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information transmitted by the Government to the Conference Committee in June 1990, the discussion that took place within that Committee and the information contained in the Government's last report.

The Committee recalls its previous observation and the discussion that took place at the Conference concerning the application of the Convention in respect of Filipino workers employed in Iraq. In this connection, the Committee notes that a representation has been made by the Egyptian Trade Union Federation, under article 24 of the ILO Constitution, alleging, inter alia, non-observance by Iraq of Convention No. 95. Consequently, and in accordance with the established practice, the Committee will resume its examination of the questions outstanding concerning the application of the provisions of this Convention once the above-mentioned representation has been dealt with by the competent bodies.

The Committee asks the Government also to refer to its direct request.
