Observation on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

Malta

Submission. The Committee notes that in a communication of 29 April 2021, the Government indicated that it was in the process of ratifying the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189). The Committee nevertheless notes that the Government has not provided the information requested in 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 therefore reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission to the House of Representatives of the ten instruments adopted by the Conference at its 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions (2007–19).

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.
