CRC/C/ALB/CO/2-4 (a) Strengthen the labour inspectorate and provide labour inspectors with all the necessary support, including child labour expertise, with a view to enabling them to monitor effectively, at the State and local levels, the implementation of labour law standards; (b) Ensure that the Gërdec incident is thoroughly investigated and those responsible effectively prosecuted; (c) Continue to seek technical assistance from the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour of the International Labour Office (ILO) in this regard; and (d) Consider ratifying the ILO Convention No. 189 (2011) concerning decent work for domestic workers.
