Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

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 Government indicates report that a Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation has been established with neighbouring countries such as Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe to deal with employment and immigration issues affecting nationals of these countries. The Government also indicates that payments of workers compensation are effected through diplomatic channels. The Committee takes note of this information and would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the payment of benefits abroad also covers nationals of other States which have ratified the Convention. Please provide available statistics on the payment of these benefits abroad.
