Repetition

Article 2 of the Convention. Consultation procedures. The Government indicates in its report that there is no text providing for a consultation procedure between the Government and employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes that the Government reiterates its intention to establish, by ministerial order, a tripartite national commission on international labour standards, which will be responsible for dealing with all matters relating to international labour standards. This commission will also be responsible for the submission to the competent authorities, after consultation with the most representative organizations of employers and workers, of all the instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the progress achieved in relation to the establishment of procedures for the holding of effective tripartite consultations on international labour standards. The Committee also requests the Government to provide information on the adoption of the ministerial order establishing a tripartite national commission on international labour standards and to provide the Office with a copy of the order once it has been adopted.

Article 5(1). Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Government indicates that no consultations have been held on the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention, and adds that these consultations will be carried out once the tripartite national commission on international labour standards is established. The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures without delay to ensure that effective tripartite consultations are held on all the matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention, including with regard to questionnaires on items on the agenda of the Conference (Article 5(1)(a)), the proposals to be made in connection with the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Assembly (Article 5(1)(b)), the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and of Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (Article 5(1)(c)), reports to be made on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)) and proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(e)).
