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

Liberia

Serious failure to submit. The Committee once again notes with deepconcern 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 therefore once again expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority. It urges the Government to provide information without further delay on the submission to the National Legislature of the 25 instruments adopted by the Conference at its 77th, 82nd, 88th, 89th, 90th, 92nd, 95th, 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions.

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.
