Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - Saint Kitts and Nevis (Ratification: 2000)

Legislative developments. Noting with regret that the Government has been providing the Committee with the same information for more than a decade now, the Committee firmly hopes that the new Labour Code will be enacted in the near future and that it will contain comprehensive provisions prohibiting:

• (i)direct and indirect discrimination,
• (ii)at least on all of the grounds set out in Article 1(1)(a) of the Convention,
• (iii)in all aspects of employment and occupation, and
• (iv)for all workers.

It also asks the Government to provide information on any additional grounds of discrimination as foreseen under Article 1(1)(b).

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