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

Malaysia

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes that in its communication of 25 March 2021, the Government indicates that it is in the process of submitting the required instruments to the Parliament of Malaysia. In this respect, it 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 therefore once again 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. It reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission to the Parliament of Malaysia of the 13 instruments adopted by the Conference at its 95th (Recommendation No. 198), 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions (2006–19).

The Committee recalls 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 Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.
