Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Indonesia (Ratification: 1950)

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s confirmation that Act No. 3 of 1992 on employees’ social security covers all employees without distinction as to their nationality, thereby providing the same treatment in respect of employment accident and occupational disease compensation. The Committee had nevertheless noted in its previous comments that neither the legislation nor the Government referred to the payment of compensation owed to injured workmen or to their dependants in the event of residence abroad or the transfer of their residence abroad. As the Government has not provided any information on this subject in its report, the Committee once again requests it to provide all relevant information in this respect. It would also be grateful if the Government would indicate, where appropriate, the relevant legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions respecting the payment of compensation owed to injured workmen or their dependants in the event of residence abroad, for both national workers and foreign workers, and also provide information on any specific arrangements which may have been concluded with other States concerned.

Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice and, if such statistics are available, information concerning the number of foreign workers employed in Indonesia, their nationality, the number and nature of the accidents reported in their case, etc., in accordance with Part V of the report form.
