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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Rwanda (Ratification: 1988)

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:

1. Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures which have been taken or are envisaged to ensure that all workers, including agricultural workers, and not only trade union delegates, enjoy adequate protection against acts of anti-union discrimination both at the time of taking up employment and during the employment relationship, accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions, in accordance with the requirements of the Convention.

2. Article 4. The Committee requests the Government to communicate in its next report information on how this provision is applied in practice, including the number of collective Conventions which have been concluded, the categories of staff covered, etc.
