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

Afghanistan

The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the fourth year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. Nine reports are now due, which should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments, including on fundamental Conventions.

The Committee launches an urgent appeal to the responsible authorities to send their reports without delay and advises them that, even in the absence of these reports, the Committee may fully review the application of these Conventions at its next meeting on the basis of available information.

While noting the complex situation prevailing in the country, and recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues this year by the ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia, the Committee trusts that all responsible authorities will honour their international commitments and provide information in response to the Committee’s previous comments.
