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

Protection against Accidents (Dockers) Convention (Revised), 1932 (No. 32) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1933)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report and the text of the Ports Act (Act No. 16246 of 8 April 1992) and Decrees Nos. 412/992 and 413/992 issuing regulations under the Act.

Article 18 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that reciprocal arrangements have not yet been established with other member States on the provisions contained in the Convention. The Committee draws the Government's attention to the purpose of the obligation contained in paragraph 1 of this Article, which is the mutual recognition by all the member States which have ratified the Convention of the provisions adopted in their respective countries for testing, examining and annealing and of certificates and records relating thereto. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to supply information on the effect given in practice to this Article of the Convention.
