Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2003 direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in relation to its previous direct request indicating that consultations were held on instruments adopted at the 90th Session of the Conference and that consultations concerning unratified Conventions are ongoing. It also indicates that Guyana is not in a position, at present, to ratify Convention No. 169, but that discussions are being held to revise the Amerindian Act. The provisions of Convention No. 169 are expected to impact on the draft amendments. The Committee would appreciate if the Government continues providing information on this subject. It also requests the Government to provide particulars, in its next report, of the consultations held on each of the subjects listed in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, and to indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.
