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

Sierra Leone

Failure to submit. The Committee once again notes with deep concern that the Government has failed to reply 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 firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the instruments adopted by the Conference in October 1976 (Convention No. 146 and Recommendation No. 154, adopted at its 62nd Session), and all instruments adopted between 1977 and 2019 that have not been submitted. The Government is firmly urged to take steps without delay to submit all 93 pending instruments to Parliament.

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.
