ILO Expects Uzbekistan To Adopt New Labor Code
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 2. International Labour
Organisation (ILO) expects Uzbekistan to adopt a new labor Code
this year, the senior communication and public information officer
of ILO Sophy Fisher told Trend .
'This will be important to strengthen the legal rights of
workers and responsibilities of employers. Continued efforts to
ensure the sustainability of actions to eliminate forced labor in
the cotton sector are also important, along with bringing lessons
learned from this sector to other areas where workers are at risk
of poor working conditions,' Fisher said.
According to her, the Uzbek government is continuing to
cooperate with the ILO in relation to the implementation of
international labor standards, taking into account the
recommendations and comments of the ILO's Committee of Experts on
the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR) and the
Conference Committee on the Application of Standards.
'In the area of labor inspection, the improvement of its
effectiveness requires, among other aspects, strengthening the
alignment of national law and practice with ratified ILO
Conventions and strengthening the capacity and resources of the
labor inspectorate,' Fisher said.
Uzbekistan recently joined the EU's GSP+, which is accompanied
by a number of new obligations in relation to labor and employment,
environmental protection, human rights, and good governance, thus
facilitating the promotion of compliance with international labor
standards and the Decent Work Agenda.
