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

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Mozambique (Ratification: 1996)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. ILO technical assistance. The Committee takes note of a brief report received in September 2012. The Government indicates that the Labour Advisory Commission’s role is to promote social dialogue and partnership with respect to the Government’s economic, social and labour policies. Negotiations to readjust national minimum wages and promote regulatory instruments, especially in the area of labour law, are conducted in the framework of social partnership. The Government also refers to consultation and social dialogue forums at the provincial level. The Committee once again requests the Government to submit a report containing detailed and updated information on the tripartite consultations concerning each of the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention (replies to questionnaires, submissions to the competent authorities, re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations, reports to be made to the ILO). It also requests the Government to include information on the nature of the reports or recommendations resulting from these consultations. In addition, the Committee invites the Government to provide detailed information on the content and results of the forums at provincial level to which it refers. In addition, the Committee once again draws the Government’s attention to the possibility of seeking technical assistance from the Office in order to enable the provision of detailed information, allowing the Committee to examine, as the Convention requires, whether tripartite consultations on international labour standards are effectively carried out (Article 5(1) of the Convention).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2013.]
