Observation on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2021, published 110th ILC session (2022)

Bahamas

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with deep regret that the Government has again not provided information in response to its previous observation. It once again recalls that the constitutional obligation of submission is of the highest importance and is a fundamental element of the standards system of the ILO. The Committee expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in June 2019 and June 2021, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority (the Parliament). The Committee therefore firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 26 instruments adopted by the Conference at 15 sessions held between 1997 and 2019 (85th, 86th, 88th, 89th, 90th, 92nd, 95th, 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions).
