General Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Barbados

The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the second year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. Thirteen reports are now due, which should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments, including on fundamental Conventions.

On the basis of the decision of the Committee concerning the treatment of urgent appeals, the Committee decided to examine, at this session, the application of Convention No. 87 for which the report has not been received for more than three years, based on public information at its disposal.

Recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues this year by the ILO Decent Work Team for the Caribbean and the International Training Centre of the ILO, the Committee hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments.
