Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Mali (Ratification: 2008)

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates in its report that, on each occasion that it examines an issue relating to international labour standards, the current practice consists of informing the social partners by the communication of documents and gathering their views. The Government hopes that with the institutionalization of a National Social Dialogue Council, an appropriate response will be found to the current situation. The Government adds that a specific consultation procedure on international labour standards has not yet been established. The Committee recalls that the consultations required by the Convention can be held without any specific provision in domestic law. The Convention can be implemented through customary law or practice, as well as through the enactment of laws and regulations (see Part I of the report form and paragraphs 48–51 of the 2000 General Survey on tripartite consultation). The Committee requests the Government to report the progress made through the establishment of the National Social Dialogue Council or any other procedure or practice for the holding of effective tripartite consultations on international labour standards.

Article 5(1)(c). Re-examination of unratified Conventions. The Committee notes that the draft text for the ratification of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), was adopted by the Council of Ministers in January 2015. The Government adds that draft texts for the ratification of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930, the Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88), the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), and the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), have been referred to the General Secretariat of the Government for adoption by the Council of Ministers. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the consultations held on the measures taken for the ratification of Conventions Nos 88, 122, 155, 181 and the Protocol of 2014.
