Second Meeting of the Preparatory Tripartite MLC, 2006 Committee (PTMLC) (Geneva, 12–14 December 2011)

Proposal for Standing Orders for the Special Tripartite Committee to be established by the Governing Body in line with Article XIII of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006).

Meeting document | 19 October 2011
The following is a proposal for Standing Orders for the Special Tripartite Committee to be established by the Governing Body in line with Article XIII of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006). This proposal is therefore based on the Standing Orders for the Governing Body and at the same time reflects the text of Article XIII and addresses the innovative role of the Special Tripartite Committee under Article VII of the MLC, 2006.

Both Articles and the amendment procedures under Article XV are contained in Annex 1 to these draft Standing Orders, which should be considered in the light of the Standing Orders of the Governing Body (Governing Body Standing Orders are also attached as Annex 2).

This proposal also takes into account the views of the Preparatory Tripartite MLC, 2006 Committee meeting (see PTMLC/2010/4, Appendix, “Outcome of the Preparatory Tripartite MLC, 2006 Committee meeting (20–22 September 2010)”, attached as Annex 3). The footnotes and annexes are for purposes of this draft only and would not be part of the Standing Orders that are adopted.
