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

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Malawi (Ratification: 1965)

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:

The Committee notes the adoption of the Workers' Compensation Act, Cap. 21 of 1990 which according to its section 1 will come into operation on such date as the Minister may appoint by notice published in the Gazette. As stated in the Government's report, it was envisaged to implement the provisions of the new Act in phases as from 1 April 1992.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information concerning the entry into force of the provisions of the above-mentioned Act as well as supply a copy of any rules that might have been adopted regarding payment of benefits abroad.
