Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

Convention (n° 88) sur le service de l'emploi, 1948 - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1961)

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

The Committee notes from the Government’s report that the draft Employment Service Regulations to which the Government has been referring since 1974 have still not been adopted. The Government indicates once again that the question of the adoption of the draft Regulations is still on the agenda of the next meeting of the Joint Consultative Committee.

The Committee reiterates its hope that the new provisions will be adopted in the very near future and that the next report will contain the information previously requested on: (a) the setting up of national, and where necessary regional and local, advisory committees ensuring the participation of employers’ and workers’ representatives in equal numbers in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of the general policy of this service, in accordance with Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention; and (b) the determination of the functions of the employment service in accordance with Article 6.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future, and urges the Government to seek the assistance of the Office, if necessary.
