Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 1) - Paraguay (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government according to which it intends to take account, in the preliminary draft of the new Labour Code, of the Committee's previous comments related to repealing section 205 of the current Labour Code. This section, in certain cases, permits the extension of the normal working day to 12 hours.

The Committee points out that it has been commenting on this matter since 1969 and trusts that the Government will take these measures as soon as possible and that it will report any development to the ILO.
