Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Articles 2 and 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report for the November 2006 to August 2008 period received in November 2008. It further notes the role of the National Tripartite Commission for Social Partnership and the Regulation of Social and Labour Relations as the key forum for discussions and consultations. The Government indicated that the consultations with the social partners on the ratification of the Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167), were continuing (Article 5(1)(c)). Further, consultations were held with representative workers’ and employers’ organizations involved in preparing reports on ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)) and on proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(e)). The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will also include information on measures taken to ensure effective tripartite consultations on all other subjects listed in Article 5(1), especially on (i) government replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and government comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference (Article 5(1)(a)); and (ii) on the proposals to be made to Parliament in connection with the submission of Conventions and Recommendations pursuant to article 19 of the ILO Constitution (Article 5(1)(b)).
