Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Lebanon (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes with regret that for a number of years 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 raised in its previous direct request:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee referred to its earlier comments and recalled that the night period of nine hours laid down by section 26 of the Labour Code is not in conformity with the provisions of the Convention, which lay down a period of at least 11 consecutive hours. It noted with interest from the last report of the Government that a new draft Labour Code contains a provision to this end. The Committee hoped that the draft will be adopted shortly and requested the Government to indicate any progress made.
