Lifting of deployment ban on hold
- 2007 POEA Advisory
DOLE Secretary Arturo D. Brion decided to "hold further action on
Department Order No. 86-07 in light of expressed concerns on the
security/peace and order situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and
Nigeria. Under this situation, the complete ban on Iraq, Lebanon and
Nigeria remains. While we previously allowed the deployment of new hires
and returning workers to international organizations in Afghanistan, the
Department of Foreign Affairs will not issue any 'no objection'
certificate for Afghanistan; hence there is also an effective complete
ban".
