Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Cameroon (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the Government’s report received at the ILO on 1 September 2012. It also notes the observations made by the General Union of Workers of Cameroon (UGTC) in a communication of 29 October 2012, received at the ILO on 12 November 2012. The Committee asks the Government to send any comments it deems appropriate on these observations.

The Committee also notes with interest that in May 2011, the Government sought and received technical assistance from the ILO to carry out an assessment of the labour administration and labour inspection services. It notes that the recommendations made in the assessment, which was completed in May 2011, to a large extent reflect the Committee’s previous comments on the application of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged, if necessary with financial assistance to be sought in the context of international cooperation, to gradually put in place a labour inspection system that meets the requirements of the Convention, in the light of the recommendations made in the abovementioned assessment.

The Committee raises other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
