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

Marshall Islands

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with regret that the Government has yet again provided no response to its previous comments. 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 recalls that Marshall Islands became a Member of the Organization on 3 July 2007. In accordance with article 19(5)(a) and (6)(a) of the ILO Constitution, the Office communicated to the Government the text of the Convention, Recommendations and the Protocol adopted by the Conference at its 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions (2007–19). The Committee once again reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 12 instruments adopted by the Conference between 2007 and 2019.

The Committee recalls once more that the Government may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in achieving compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the ILO Constitution relating to the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference to the competent authorities.
