Observation on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Comoros

Failure to submit. The Committee notes once again with deep concern that the Government has not replied to its previous observation. The Committee 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 once more expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in June 2016, June 2017, June 2018, June 2019, June 2021, June 2022 and June 2023, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority. It therefore once again firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to the Assembly of the Union of Comoros of the 45 instruments adopted by the Conference at the 23 sessions held between 1992 and 2019.

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.

Tripartite consultations. The Committee notes with interest the ratification of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 on 15 July 2021. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the tripartite consultations held prior to the ratification, as required by the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144).
