Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Zambia (Ratification: 1978)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s brief report received in October 2012. The Government recalls that the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), and the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129), were considered during the Tripartite Consultative Labour Council (TCLC) meeting held in January 2011. The Government further indicates that these Conventions were submitted to the Cabinet in 2011 but have yet to be resubmitted to the Cabinet since the new Government was elected in September 2011. The Committee once again invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held by the TCLC on the matters relating to international labour standards listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention and, more specifically, on the questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference, the submission of instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Assembly, and the reports to be made on the application of ratified Conventions.
