Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1999, publiée 88ème session CIT (2000)

Convention (n° 17) sur la réparation des accidents du travail, 1925 - Rwanda (Ratification: 1962)

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report. It notes with regret that the Order to determine the means of applying the Legislative Decree of 22 August 1974, respecting the organization of the social security system to apprentices and to casual and temporary workers has still not been adopted. It also notes that reference is no longer made to the draft Ministerial Order mentioned in the Government's previous reports. The Committee recalls that it has been drawing the Government's attention for over 20 years to the need to extend the laws and regulations respecting the compensation of industrial accidents to apprentices and to casual and temporary workers, in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention. In these conditions, it trusts that the Government will not fail to take all the necessary measures for the adoption of the above Order, so as to give full effect to this provision of the Convention.
