The Report stresses that "whenever it appears that there is insufficient protection against interference ....................... governments having ratified the Convention are under the obligation to take specific action, in particular through legislative means, to ensure the guarantees provided for in the Convention".

I notice you think there is some substance in the comments of Mr Valticos on the application of Article 1. You may be interested to know that in 1969 the Committee of Experts noted with satisfaction a new legislative decree in the Syrian Arab Republic by virtue of which workers were to enjoy adequate protection, inter alia, in respect of acts calculated to make the employment of a worker subject to the condition that he shall not join a union or shall relinquish trade union

membership.
