Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in reply to the observations made in 2012 by the National Organisation of Trade Unions (NOTU) that it has requested the NOTU to supply further information on the alleged cases in which several victims of occupational injuries were not compensated in accordance with the Workers’ Compensation Act, 2000 (WCA, 2000). The Committee asks the Government to provide information on how the above cases were handled in practice. It also reiterates its request to the Government to supply comprehensive information on the manner in which the WCA, 2000 is implemented throughout the country, including by supplying copies of annual reports produced by the agency in charge of implementing the employment injury legislation and by the labour inspectorate with respect to the number and nature of occupational accidents.
Conclusions and recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism. The Committee notes that, at its 328th Session in October 2016, the Governing Body of the ILO adopted the conclusions and recommendations formulated by the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group (SRM TWG), recalling that Conventions Nos 12 and 17 to which Uganda is party are outdated and charging the Office with follow-up work aimed at encouraging States party to these Conventions to ratify the Employment Injury Benefits Convention, 1964 [Schedule I amended in 1980] (No. 121), and/or accept, inter alia, Part VI of the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102), as these represent the most up-to-date instruments in this subject area. The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance in this regard.
