CEACR 2005 (76th Session): Individual Observation concerning Convention No. 87, Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise, 1948 Myanmar (ratification: 1955)

Description: 

"...The Committee notes with deep regret that the information provided by the Government continues to demonstrate a total lack of progress towards establishing a legislative framework under which free and independent workers' organizations can be established and a total absence of any meaningful dialogue in this respect. Noting that measures are needed urgently to amend the legislation and the Constitution with the full and genuine participation of all sectors of society regardless of their political views, the Committee, like the Conference Committee, once again urges the Government to communicate all relevant draft laws and to furnish a detailed report on the concrete measures taken to enact legislation guaranteeing to all workers and employers the right to establish and join organizations of their own choosing, as well as the rights of these organizations to exercise their activities and formulate their programmes and to affiliate with federations, confederations and international organizations of their own choosing without interference from the public authorities. It further urges the Government in the strongest terms to repeal Orders Nos. 2/88 and 6/88 as well as the Unlawful Association Act, so that they cannot be applied in a manner that would infringe upon the rights of workers' and employers' organizations."
