The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes with regret 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:

Article 6 of the Convention. See the comments under Convention No. 14.

The Committee, furthermore, notes an observation of the "Haitian Trade Union Coordination" (Coordination Syndicale Haïtienne - CSH) pointing to the continuing discrepancy between the national legislation and the requirements of Article 6 of the Convention, while acknowledging that in practice weekly rest of at least 24 hours is granted to workers. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to correct this error in the near future and requests to be kept informed of any progress made.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
