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

Congo

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government has again not replied to its previous comments. The Committee recalls once again 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 once again expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference in June 2019 and June 2021, that the Government of Congo will comply with its obligations to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authorities in the future. The Committee once again reiterates its request that the Government complete the submission procedure in relation to 67 Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols, adopted by the Conference during 32 sessions from 1970 to 2019, which have not yet been submitted to the National Assembly. It reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance to meet its constitutional submission obligations.
