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

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ratification: 1960)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's indication that, as it already stated in previous reports, it is engaged in efforts to harmonise its legislation with the provisions of this Convention. The Committee recalls that it has been commenting on the application of this Convention for many years; and that in 1976, at the Government's request, the International Labour Office sent a proposal for new provisions that could be incorporated into the existing legislation in order to give effect to the Convention. However, although the Government has stated on several occasions that it would adopt the necessary texts to give effect to the Convention, they have not yet been adopted. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will make the necessary efforts to ensure that the text which is to give effect to the Convention and which the Government has been drafting since 1979, is adopted in the very near future.
