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

Equatorial Guinea

Serious failure to submit. The Committee again notes with deep concern that the Government has provided no response to 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 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. Accordingly, the Committee once again firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 37 instruments adopted by the Conference between 1993 and 2019. The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance to meet its constitutional obligation of submission.
