Appendix C

Resolution concerning tripartite
consultation at the national level
on economic and social policy^[1]

        The General Conference of the International Labour Organization, at its 83rd Session (1996),

        Considering that tripartite cooperation plays an essential role in the structure and activities of the International Labour Organization, as well as in the development and implementation of economic and social policy,

        Considering that tripartite cooperation has recently experienced a number of developments in many countries,

        Having examined these developments on the basis of Report VI entitled "Tripartite consultation at the national level on economic and social policy",

        Bearing in mind the spirit and content of the Declaration and the Programme of Action adopted by the World Summit for Social Development organized by the United Nations in Copenhagen, from 6 to 12 March 1995;

        Adopts the following conclusions and invites the Governing Body of the International Labour Office to request the Director-General:

• to bring these conclusions to the attention of the member States and the employers' and workers' organizations;

• to take account of these conclusions when preparing future activities of the International Labour Organization.

Conclusions concerning tripartite
consultation at the national level
on economic and social policy

        1.  In the present conclusions, the term "tripartite cooperation" is taken in a broad sense and refers to all dealings between the government and the employers' and workers' organizations concerning the formulation and implementation of economic and social policy.

        2.  Tripartite cooperation is not an end in itself. It is basically a means of cooperation among the parties with a view to:

(a)     seeking to promote the pursuit of economic development and social justice in concert; and

(b)     reconciling, where necessary, the requirements of economic development and those of social justice.

        3.  Meaningful and effective tripartite cooperation cannot exist without a market economy and democracy. It can help to sustain the effective functioning of both. Tripartite cooperation can help to sustain the effective functioning of the market economy by dealing with its social consequences. Tripartite cooperation can also help to strengthen democracy by allowing the social partners, who represent important segments of the population, to participate in various ways in the policy formulation and the decision-making processes regarding economic and social policy.

        4.  While in some cases tripartite cooperation has not been as effective as some or all parties would have liked, many different forms of tripartite cooperation in different regions of the world have been generally recognized to be effective. This is true for those forms of tripartite cooperation that occur at the national level and cover a wide range of economic and social issues, for those forms that occur at sectoral, regional and local levels, as well as for those forms that occur at the national level but deal with specific subjects such as occupational safety and health. Since tripartite cooperation involves the social partners in the policy formulation and decision-making processes, it has in effect often been a positive means of achieving acceptable compromises between economic and social imperatives. For this reason as well, such compromises have the greatest likelihood of being effectively implemented, thus promoting social peace and harmony.

        5.  Considerable differences may arise regarding, for example, the relative importance of formal and informal tripartite cooperation, the relative importance of bipartite and tripartite industrial relations or even regarding how sharp a distinction the parties wish to draw between the area of competence of the public authorities and that of the social partners. However, tripartite cooperation is an instrument that is flexible enough to be adapted to the most diverse situations, provided that all the parties have the firm will to do so.

        6.  At present, the major challenge of tripartite cooperation is to contribute effectively to resolving the problems resulting in many countries from the exacerbation of economic difficulties and the globalization of the economy, as well as from the structural adjustment programmes that both have necessitated. Given the seriousness of these problems, their solution requires a strengthening of tripartite cooperation at the national or other appropriate levels. One of the roles of tripartite cooperation should essentially be to seek to reconcile the imperatives of social justice with those of enterprise competitiveness and economic development. It should be borne in mind that tripartite cooperation should be used not only in adverse but also in favourable economic circumstances.

        7.  Since the globalization of the economy limits the parties' capacity to resolve economic and social problems at the national level, international cooperation contributes to the solution of these problems. The main objective of this cooperation should be to minimize the detrimental effects of the globalization of the economy. Despite the many difficulties involved in establishing such cooperation, there is a pressing need to explore the ways and find the means by which it can be achieved.

        8.  The need for tripartite cooperation to adapt to its environment does not alter the fact that its effective functioning is subject to certain fundamental conditions. Firstly, it is indispensable that there be three distinct parties, independent of one another and exercising different functions. This presupposes full respect for the right to organize as set out in the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87), and the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98). Secondly, it is essential that the parties be willing to examine problems together and to seek solutions that are mutually beneficial to them and to the national community as a whole. This presupposes that all parties are willing to engage in dialogue with a sense of responsibility that allows them to go further than the narrow defence of their own interests.

        9.  The smooth functioning of tripartite cooperation depends also on the parties being strong enough to carry out their functions effectively. In particular, this presupposes that the organizations of employers and workers are independent, sufficiently representative and accountable to their members; that they are structured so as to be able to make the necessary commitments and to ensure that they are carried out; and that they have the technical capacity to deal knowledgeably with the subjects under discussion. It is equally important that there be a reasonable equilibrium of strength among the three parties. It is recognized that the State has an important role to play in facilitating effective tripartite cooperation.

        10.  In a number of countries the existence of an enabling institutional and procedural framework is instrumental --and sometimes essential -- to the effective functioning of tripartite cooperation and, in certain cases, to the emergence and identification of employers' and workers' organizations.

        11.  The International Labour Organization should use all appropriate means and take all appropriate measures including the following initiatives in order to promote tripartite cooperation:

(a)     encourage the ratification and or the effective application of the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144); the Tripartite Consultation (Activities of the International Labour Organisation) Recommendation, 1976 (No. 152); and the Consultation (Industrial and National Levels) Recommendation, 1960 (No. 113);

(b)     promote the will of governments, employers' and workers' organizations to use tripartite cooperation;

(c)     promote tripartite cooperation at the national or other appropriate levels. Its efforts in this domain should above all seek to ensure the fulfilment of the conditions necessary for the smooth functioning of tripartite cooperation. In this regard, special attention should be paid to gathering, evaluating and disseminating information, raising awareness, as well as offering assistance to strengthen the capacity of governments and employers' and workers' organizations to participate effectively in tripartite cooperation;

(d)     undertake, in line with the wish expressed by the Copenhagen Summit calling for international cooperation, the very special role that its "mandate, tripartite structure and expertise" bestows upon it. In this regard, it is urgent to explore the ways and find the means by which the International Labour Organization can accomplish this task. The International Labour Organization should in any case strengthen its contacts and develop cooperation with the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization and other international agencies in order to better sensitize them to the social consequences of their action. It should also increase its efforts aimed at convincing the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund of the need to consult social partners nationally on proposed programmes of structural adjustment and to encourage the use of tripartite cooperation in policy formulation and decision-making processes. It should also assist the national social partners in the course of such consultations if so requested.

Table of reports due on the Tripartite Consultation
(International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976
(No. 144) and on the Tripartite Consultation
(Activities of the International Labour Organisation)
Recommendation, 1976 (No. 152)
(article 19 of the Constitution)

        Article 19 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organization provides that Members shall "report to the Director-General of the International Labour Office, at appropriate intervals as requested by the Governing Body" on the position of their law and practice in regard to the matters dealt with in unratified Conventions and Recommendations. The obligations of Members as regards Conventions are laid down in paragraph 5(e) of the abovementioned article. Paragraph 6(d) deals with Recommendations, and paragraph 7(a) and (b) deals with the particular obligations of federal States. Article 23 of the Constitution provides that the Director-General shall lay before the next meeting of the Conference a summary of the reports communicated to him by Members in pursuance of article 19, and that each Member shall communicate copies of these reports to the representative organizations of employers and workers.

        At its 218th (November 1981) Session, the Governing Body decided to discontinue the publication of summaries of reports on unratified Conventions and on Recommendations and to publish only a list of reports received, on the understanding that the Director-General would make available for consultation at the Conference the originals of all reports received and that copies of reports would be available to members of delegations on request.

        At its 267th (November 1996) Session, the Governing Body approved new measures for rationalization and simplification.

        From now on, reports received under article 19 of the Constitution appear in simplified form in a table annexed to Report III (Part 1B) of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations.

        Requests for consultation or copies of reports may be addressed to the secretariat of the Committee on the Application of Standards.

        The reports, which are listed below, refer to the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) and to the Tripartite Consultation (Activities of the International Labour Organisation) Recommendation, 1976 (No. 152).
