Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Angola (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes from the Government’s report that the observations made in 2007 by the National Union of Angolan Workers (UNTA), identifying a number of shortcomings in national law and practice with respect to the Convention, are currently being considered by the ILO National Tripartite Commission which will shortly issue an opinion. The Committee hopes that, in its next report, the Government will supply detailed information with respect to the above comments as well as on the manner in which the new industrial accidents scheme established by Decree No. 53/05 of 15 August 2005 concerning industrial accidents and occupational diseases and Act No. 7/04 of 15 October 2004 concerning basic social protection, give effect to each of the provisions of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2010.]
