Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with regret 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 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. This Article provides that, where temporary exemptions are made in accordance with the provisions of this Article, the persons concerned shall be granted compensatory rest of a total duration at least equivalent to the period provided for under Article 6. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that section 11 of Order 1545 is no longer applied in practice and shall be repealed on the occasion of the next revision of the labour law. It notes with interest that the Government hopes to undertake the revision with ILO’s assistance as soon as tripartite consultations could be organized. It trusts that the Government will take the necessary steps to bring the national legislation in conformity with the Convention in the near future and requests to report on any action undertaken and progress achieved in this regard.
