Convenio sobre el examen médico de los menores (trabajos no industriales), 1946 (núm. 78) - Perú (Ratificación : 1962)

The Committee notes that the information supplied by the Government on the impact that the earthquake which took place last August in its country has had on its capacity to submit its reports. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee refers to its comments under Convention No. 77.

Article 7, paragraph 2. The Committee noted that none of the sections of the new Code on Children and Young Persons approved in 2000 contains a reply to the questions raised in its 1995 direct request concerning the measures of identification to be adopted for ensuring the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment of young people engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents in itinerant trading or any other occupation carried out in the streets or in places to which the public have access.

The Committee again asks the Government to indicate the provisions laying down the measures of identification to supervise application of the system of medical examination for young people pursuant to this Article, thus guaranteeing application of the Convention.
