Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

Convention (n° 111) concernant la discrimination (emploi et profession), 1958 - Liban (Ratification: 1977)

Afficher en : Francais - EspagnolTout voir

Legislative prohibition of discrimination in employment and occupation. The Committee recalls its previous observation indicating that section 1 (definition of wage earner) and section 35 (protection of women against discrimination) of the most recent version of the draft Labour Law still fell short of prohibiting discrimination in employment and occupation based on all the grounds defined in the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the commission charged with the revision of the draft Labour Law is still finalizing its work. Recalling that the Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention to this point for many years, the Committee trusts that the Government will make every effort to ensure that the draft Labour Law will soon be adopted and that its final version will include an explicit prohibition of direct and indirect discrimination based on race, colour, sex, religion, national extraction, political opinion and social origin in respect of all aspects of employment. The Committee asks the Government to provide detailed information on any progress made in this regard.

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