Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1981)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report and, in particular, with regard to the consultations which had taken place on the questions enumerated under Article 5, paragraph 1(b) and (c), of the Convention. The Committee would nevertheless like to remind the Government of the need to provide in its future reports on the application of the Convention full and detailed information on the consultations undertaken on each of the questions raised under Article 5, paragraph 1(b) and (c). In this regard, the Committee would like to recall that issues such as responses to questionnaires, submissions to the competent authorities, reports to be submitted to the ILO require annual consultation, whereas issues such as the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations, proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions require less frequent consultation. The Committee trusts that the Government will take due note of this information when preparing future reports.
