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

Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - Peru (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes with interest Act No. 25155 of 26 December 1989 under which it is forbidden to establish discrimination on grounds of sex in the regulations, statutes or other rules of sports, social or cultural institutions. However, 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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. In its previous direct request, the Committee noted the establishment of the Special Commission on the Rights of Women and asked the Government to provide information on the activities of this Commission.

2. The Committee notes that, according to the Government's report, the Court of Constitutional Guarantees has been asked to supply information concerning the appeals that have been taken before it against decisions issued by the administrative labour authorities by persons who consider that they have been subjected to discriminatory decisions, and that the Government will forward this information once it has been received.

3. The Committee takes note of the information concerning the confidential duties referred to in section 2 of Legislative Decree No. 276, the basic law governing administrative careers and remuneration in the public sector, and of the information concerning the categories of persons excluded from the scope of the above Decree.

4. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government concerning the appeal channels available to a worker whose complaint is declared unfounded by the administrative labour authority.
