Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2008, publiée 98ème session CIT (2009)

Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Sénégal (Ratification: 2004)

Articles 2 and 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Consultation mechanisms and tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In reply to its previous direct request, the Government indicates in the report received in August 2008 that the mechanisms ensuring tripartite consultations are still the same and consist of meetings organized in consultation with the social partners. The report does not contain other indications on the matters covered by the Convention that are addressed in the context of these tripartite meetings. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide information in its next report on the consultations held on each of the matters covered by paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Convention, with an indication of the frequency of such consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations issued.

Article 5, paragraph 1(b). Prior consultations with a view to the submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference. In reply to the previous direct request, the Government indicates that consultations will be held in the same way as for the reports due under articles 19 and 22 of the Constitution. The Committee refers to the observation that it has been making for many years on the backlog in the submission of the instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference to the National Assembly and urges the Government to ensure that tripartite consultations are held in practice and that the instruments concerned are submitted to the National Assembly.

Article 4, paragraph 2. Financing of training. The Government recalls that the issue of training is still under examination and indicates that it will possibly call upon ILO technical assistance for financing and for any other issue relating to necessary training, information and communication for participants in the consultation procedures. The Committee once again hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to report on the arrangements made, if necessary with ILO assistance, for the financing of any necessary training of participants in the consultation procedures.
