Convenio sobre la consulta tripartita (normas internacionales del trabajo), 1976 (núm. 144) - Pakistán (Ratificación : 1994)

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government provides in its report detailed information in reply to the previous comments. The Committee notes with interest that the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development established a Federal Tripartite Consultative Committee (FTCC) on 4 July 2014 to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. It notes from the report that the FTCC was a first of its kind initiative to cater to social dialogue through an institutionalized arrangement. The FTCC is required to meet at regular intervals to ensure continuation of the dialogue process and to monitor the progress made in pursuance of its decisions. After the establishment of this tripartite forum at the federal level, similar arrangements are planned at the provincial and district levels so as to create a vertically linked structure of social dialogue to make sure that the application of the Convention trickles down to the lower tiers of administration. The Committee notes the detailed minutes of the tripartite meetings held in 2014 and 2015 at the federal and provincial levels. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the tripartite consultations held concerning international labour standards, as required by the Convention.
