Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

Convention (n° 96) sur les bureaux de placement payants (révisée), 1949 - Eswatini (Ratification: 1981)

Revision of Convention No. 96. The Committee notes the Government’s statement in the report received in September 2009 indicating that there has been no change in the legislation but that the Employment Bill will be re-tabled in Parliament. The Government is considering the proposal made by the Committee to denounce Convention No. 96 and consider ratification of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181). The Committee notes that the proposal will be discussed at the Labour Advisory Board and the Government will keep the Committee informed of developments in this regard. The Committee welcomes this approach and hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to communicate the Labour Advisory Board’s recommendation regarding the ratification of Convention No. 181. The Committee invites the Government and the social partners to refer to its General Survey on employment (2010) which contains an overview of Convention No. 181 and makes an assessment of this Convention’s provisions. The Committee recalls that the provisions of Convention No. 96 remain in force until the ratification of Convention No. 181 becomes effective.
