Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

Convention (n° 97) sur les travailleurs migrants (révisée), 1949 - Cameroun (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report does not contain a reply to any of the points raised in its previous direct request. It hopes that the Government will not fail to supply information on the following points.

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Labour Code of 1992 (Act No. 92/007 of 14 August 1992) does not make explicit provision, unlike section 31 of the Labour Code of 1974, for a free medical examination for migrant workers. It requests the Government to indicate the measures which have been taken or are contemplated to ensure that migrants for employment and the members of their families enjoy adequate medical attention, in accordance with this provision of the Convention.

Article 7. The Committee requests the Government to provide full information on the cooperation undertaken with other States concerning the employment service and other services connected with migration.

Article 9. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the limits fixed by national laws and regulations concerning the transfer of the earnings and savings of migrants for employment and, where appropriate, any special arrangements made in this context.

Article 10. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any agreement concluded with other States concerning movements of migrants for employment.
