Convenio sobre la consulta tripartita (normas internacionales del trabajo), 1976 (núm. 144) - Senegal (Ratificación : 2004)

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to provide updated information on the tripartite consultations held on each of the matters relating to international labour standards, in accordance with Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Government reports that there is a long-standing tradition of tripartism and social partnership in Senegal, and that it regularly meets its international obligations in relation to the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations on all matters relating to industrial relations, particularly those set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention. In this context, the Government indicates that all the reports or documents produced in Senegal by national tripartite committees for the follow-up of occupational safety and health instruments are regularly addressed and shared with the most representative organizations of employers and workers and their observations and views are broadly taken into account. The Government adds that all reports are prepared and drawn up in a tripartite manner with the contribution of all the social partners. The Government indicates that these procedures have been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and in a simplified format to avoid procedural constraints for participants. In this context, consultations have been held on the questionnaire for the ILO report Ending violence and harassment against women and men in the world of work, the ILO questionnaire concerning the abrogation and withdrawal of six international labour Conventions and the ILO report form on the annual follow-up concerning unratified fundamental Conventions, namely the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29). The Government adds that consultations have also been held on the Report V(1) on Employment and decent work for peace and resilience: Revision of the Employment (Transition from War to Peace) Recommendation, 1944 (No. 71), the reports on unratified Conventions and Recommendations for 2017, reports under article 22 of the ILO Constitution for 2017 and the submission of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930, and the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204). The Committee requests the Government to provide fuller information on the outcome and content of the tripartite consultations held on each of the issues regarding international labour standards referred to in Article 5(1) of the Convention, including replies to questionnaires, submission to the competent authorities, the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations and reports to be submitted to the ILO. It also requests the Government to specify the frequency of these consultations.
