Equality of Treatment (Social Security) Convention, 1962 (No. 118) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1964)

Previous comments: observation (2023); direct request (2023)

Compatibility of national legislation with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in reply to its previous comments that the ongoing reform of the Code of Social Security and the amended draft of Decree No. 09-115, of 27 April 2009, establishing the National Social Security Fund, will introduce changes to the national legislation to give full effect to the Convention. The Committee recalls that, for the past ten years, it has been drawing the Government's attention to the need to bring national legislation into line with the provisions of Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Convention, especially with regard to the provisions of social security benefits under conditions of residence and payments of social security benefits abroad. In light of this, the Committee requests the Government to provide information regarding the progress made in the reform of the Code of Social Security and the National Social Security Fund, and firmly hopes that the provisions of the Convention will be fully taken into account during the course of this reform.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
