Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Social Policy (Basic Aims and Standards) Convention, 1962 (No. 117) - Guinea (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Repetition

Parts I and II of the Convention. Improvement of standards of living. The Committee requests that the Government provide indications of the way in which the improvement of standards of living is regarded as the principal objective in the planning of economic development within the strategy to combat poverty (Article 2 of the Convention). In this regard, the Committee reminds the Government that, pursuant to Article 1(1) of the Convention, “all policies shall be primarily directed to the well-being and development of the population”.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
