General Surveys (article 19)

  • Each year the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations publishes an in-depth study on member States' national law and practice, on a subject chosen by the Governing Body of the ILO. These general surveys are established on the basis of reports received from member States. They allow the Committee of Experts to examine the effects of Conventions and Recommendations, to analyse the difficulties indicated by governments as raising obstacles to their application, and to identify means of overcoming these difficulties.

    The General Surveys cover a wide range of subjects, such as freedom of association (1994), equality in employment and occupation (1996), vocational rehabilitation and employment of disabled persons (1998), migrant workers (1999).
