Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2001, publiée 90ème session CIT (2002)

Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - République arabe syrienne (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not specifically reply to the previous direct request. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee recalls that, by virtue of Article 2 of the Convention, freedom of association is to be guaranteed not only to employers and workers in private industry but also to public servants, employees in public services and workers in nationalized industries. Persons in all these categories should be permitted to defend their interests by exercising the right to organize.

In this respect, the Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report whether the right to organize of public servants is regulated by legislative provisions and, if so, to provide copies of them.
