Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government states that a draft text to update all the texts governing the social security system is currently being examined by the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance. The Committee takes due note of this information. It once again hopes that the above revision, with the assistance of the ILO if appropriate, will also cover Decree No. 57-245 of 24 February 1957 and that it will therefore be possible to formally abolish the condition of residence set out in section 29, so that all nationals of the States which have ratified the Convention (and their dependants) are granted the same treatment as the nationals of Djibouti with regard to compensation for industrial accidents without any condition as to residence and irrespective of the conclusion of any reciprocity agreement to this effect. The Government is requested to indicate the progress achieved in this respect in its next report.
