Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2017, published 107th ILC session (2018)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Mongolia (Ratification: 1998)

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee recalls its previous comment in which it requested the Government to provide information on the measures taken to strengthen the existing procedures and to ensure effective tripartite consultations on all matters set out in Article 5(1). The Government indicates that, following tripartite discussions through the National Tripartite Agreement on Labour and Social Consensus for 2013–14, the State Great Khural undertook to ratify the following ILO instruments: the Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88), the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), all three of which were ratified on 17 April 2015. The Government adds that a working group, including representatives of the Mongolian Confederation of Trade Unions (CMTU) and the Mongolian Employers’ Federation (MONEF) was established to examine the possibility of ratifying the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) and the Safety and Health in Agriculture Convention, 2001 (No. 184). The Committee further notes the Government’s indication that the Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95), previously examined through the National Tripartite Agreement on Labour and Social Consensus for 2013–14, is also under consideration for possible ratification. A study was carried out to verify the compliance of national legislation with Convention No. 95. The Government indicates that the views of the MONEF and the CMTU were requested in this regard. The Committee notes that, in 2016, the Government established a tripartite International Labour Standards Subcommittee under the National Standards and Social Tripartite Consultation Committee. The Subcommittee is charged with examining and issuing proposals on the ratification of ILO Conventions, reports on the application of ratified Conventions, proposals in relation to the International Labour Conference and proposals on the possible denunciation of ratified Conventions. The Committee requests the Government to provide updated detailed information on the content and outcomes of consultations held during the next reporting period on each of the matters related to international labour standards listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention, including information on the activities of the International Labour Standards Subcommittee with respect to the matters covered by the Convention.
