Convention (n° 19) sur l'égalité de traitement (accidents du travail), 1925 - Cabo Verde (Ratification: 1987)

Article 1 of the Convention. Equality of treatment. With reference to its previous comments on the Workmen’s Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) and Convention No. 19, the Committee notes with satisfaction that a new Labour Code has been adopted in 2007 according to which foreign workers, their families or dependants, who have been victims of occupational accidents, are granted the same treatment in respect of compensation as the nationals of Cape Verde (section 18(1)).

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