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

Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Morocco (Ratification: 1956)

The Committee notes the Government’s report concerning the application of the Convention and would like to receive further information on the following point.

Article 2 of the Convention. The Government’s report states that workers’ compensation for workers and employees in the private sector, employees of public establishments and non-titularized state employees is still governed by Dahir No. 1-60-223 of 6 February 1963, which amended the Dahir of 25 June 1927 on workers’ compensation. The Government also states that Act No. 18‑01 of 23 July 2002 has made it obligatory for employers to take out insurance guaranteeing the payment of benefits in the event of employment accident for employees covered by the National Social Security Fund, with the exception of employees in the handicraft sector. For the latter, it appears that compensation remains the responsibility of the employer and that insurance is optional. The Committee notes this information and would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of Act No. 18-01 with its next report.

The Committee also requests the Government, in accordance with Part V of the report form, to provide the statistical information required concerning the application of the Convention in practice.
