Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

Convention (n° 77) sur l'examen médical des adolescents (industrie), 1946 - Pérou (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. 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 following matters which were raised in its previous direct request.

Article 6 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee noted, following the information supplied by the Government in its report received in 1989, the efforts made concerning the vocational guidance and the physical and vocational rehabilitation of the disabled, and particularly of minors. It referred in this connection, to its comments on the application of Convention No. 159.

The Committee also noted the action taken by the Government to accelerate the procedure for the adoption of the draft revision of the Children's Code by the legislative chambers. It trusts that it will be possible to adopt this Code in the near future and that the Code will determine the nature and extent of the appropriate measures that are to be taken for the vocational guidance and physical and vocational rehabilitation of children and young persons found by medical examination to be unsuited to certain types of work or to have physical handicaps or limitations. The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will be able to supply replies to the questions that have been raised for several years.
