Convenio (revisado) sobre el trabajo nocturno (mujeres), 1948 (núm. 89) - República Árabe Siria (Ratificación : 1949)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of night work for women. In its previous comment, the Committee had indicated to the Government that it could seek the assistance of the Office with a view to better understanding the possibilities and implications of the 1990 Protocol to Convention No. 89 (which opens up the possibility for women to work at night under certain well-specified conditions, or the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171)) (which is not devised as a gender-specific instrument but focuses on the protection of all night workers in all branches and occupations) and revising existing legislation accordingly. In this respect, the Committee takes good note of the Government’s request for ILO technical assistance in order to prepare a detailed study on the 1990 Protocol to Convention No. 89. With a view to an eventual ratification of the 1990 Protocol and/or of Convention No. 171, the Committee hopes that the Office will be able to provide the technical assistance requested when the situation in the country so permits.
