Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Panama (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee noted that the Government states once again that it is examining the possibility of denouncing the Convention for economic and social reasons. It noted the Government's statement in its report that, in view of the other priorities in social affairs, consultations with the organizations of employers and workers on this matter have not yet taken place. The Committee recalls that, since the ratification of the instrument in 1970, the Government has not indicated in its reports that any measure has been taken or is envisaged to bring the law or practice into conformity with the Convention in respect of prohibiting the night work of women employed in industry. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures which have been taken to bring national law and practice into conformity with the international commitments which have been undertaken.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
