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

Equatorial Guinea

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government has yet again provided no response to its previous comments. It recalls once more 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 2016, June 2017, June 2018, June 2019 and June 2021, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority. Accordingly, the Committee firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 37 instruments adopted by the Conference between 1993 and 2019. It reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance to meet its constitutional obligation of submission.
