Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons) Convention, 1983 (No. 159) - Tunisia (Ratification: 1989)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report received in August 2004, and in particular of Act No. 93-10 of 17 February 1993 on vocational guidance and vocational training. The Government indicates that the above Act contains no reciprocity requirement and therefore establishes unconditional equality of opportunity between Tunisian and foreign persons with disabilities in access to vocational training. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on the measures taken in the context of the national policy on vocational rehabilitation and employment of disabled persons (Articles 3 and 7 of the Convention) and to provide up-to-date information on the practical effect given to the Convention, in accordance with Part V of the report form.
