Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Dock Work Convention, 1973 (No. 137) - Afghanistan (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes, in particular, the Government's statement to the effect that dock workers are government employees employed on a permanent basis and come under regulations applying to other government employees.

Further to its previous comments, the Committee asks the Government to indicate, in its next report, whether it still intends to adopt the regulations concerning the application of the Convention drafted by the Ministry of Commerce, to which the Government referred in its reports of 1990 and 1991. The Committee can but reiterate its hope that the Government will not fail to supply a full report on the application of the Convention in the form approved by the Governing Body, together with copies of the relevant laws, regulations, etc., by which the Convention is applied.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1994.]
