Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Yemen (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes with concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 2 of the Convention. Insertion of labour clauses in public contracts. The Government reports that a draft Labour Code has been prepared in coordination with the ILO, and that it is in compliance with international labour standards. The Government adds that issues raised in the Committee’s previous comments with regard to the insertion of labour clauses in public contracts as prescribed by Article 2 of the Convention will be brought to the attention of the Supreme Commission on Auctions and Bids. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that it requires the technical assistance of the ILO in relation to the measures to be taken to ensure that all public contracts contain labour clauses that comply with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that all public contracts contain labour clauses and hopes that the Government will be soon in a position to report progress in giving full effect to this core requirement of the Convention. The Committee encourages the Government to avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office in this regard.

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