Convenio sobre el trabajo nocturno de los menores (trabajos no industriales), 1946 (núm. 79) - Cuba (Ratificación : 1954)

The Committee refers to its previous comments in which it noted that under section 224 and sections 128 and 129 of the General Regulations of the Act respecting protection and hygiene at work, night work was forbidden from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. for young persons of less that 16 years. It points out that these provisions are not in conformity with the Convention, which provides for a period of rest at night of at least 12 consecutive hours, including the interval between 10 o'clock in the evening and 6 o'clock in the morning for young persons under 18 years of age. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures that have been taken or are envisaged to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention.
