Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Saint Lucia (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes with concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments initially made in 2012.

Repetition

Application of the Convention in practice. The Government’s report, received in August 2012, indicates that it will soon resubmit copies of Acts Nos 5, 12, 13 and 14 of 2001 transposing into national legislation special agreements concluded with the CARICOM countries, countries of the OECS and Canada, in order to facilitate reciprocity. Please provide, as required by Part V of the report form, information, including statistics, on the manner in which effect is given to the Convention in practice, specifying, for instance, the number and nationality of foreign workers employed in Saint Lucia as well as the amount of accident compensation benefits paid to persons residing abroad, indicating the country of destination.
