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

Gabon

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with deep concern that for more than ten years the Government has provided no reply to its 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 firmly expects that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority. The Committee therefore once again firmly urges the Government to provide information concerning the submission to Parliament of the 27 instruments adopted at the 82nd, 83rd, 85th, 86th, 88th, 89th, 90th, 92nd, 95th, 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions of the Conference.

The Committee once again 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.
