Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Côte d'Ivoire (Ratification: 1987)

Articles 5, paragraph 1, and 6 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the report provided by the Government for the period ending September 2009. The Government once again indicates that all the matters covered by Article 5(1) have on each occasion been brought to the attention of the social partners for information. It adds that the tripartite committee on matters concerning ILO activities was admittedly established by Order No. 061/TFP/DTR of 9 January 2003, but has still not met in view of the crisis affecting the country. The Committee notes that the Government intends to make every effort to ensure that this institution functions normally as soon as possible. The Committee recalls that the 2008 Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization affirms that “social dialogue and the practice of tripartism between governments and the representative organizations of workers and employers within and across boarders are now more relevant to achieving solutions and to building up social cohesion and the rule of law through, among other means, international labour standards”. The Committee invites the Government and the social partners to hold the “effective consultations” on international labour standards envisaged by the Convention. It therefore hopes that the next report will enable it to examine precise and detailed information on the effective tripartite consultations held on each of the matters covered by Article 5(1). It reiterates its interest in being able to examine extracts from the summary reports of meetings of the tripartite committee (section 8 of Order No. 061/TFP/DTR of 2003) or the annual report of its activities.

Article 5, paragraph 1(b). Submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted by the Conference. The Government indicates that certain instruments adopted by the Conference between 1996 and 2006 have already been submitted to the competent authorities and that it will endeavour to ensure that this is also done for the others. The Committee refers to its repeated observations concerning serious failure to submit instruments to the National Assembly and trusts that the Government will provide precise and detailed information in its next report on the effective tripartite consultations held on the proposals to be made to the National Assembly in relation to the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference between 1996 and 2007.
