Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2018, published 108th ILC session (2019)

Repetition

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes from the report that, in addition to the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), is being considered by the Labour Advisory Committee (LAC). It also notes that the LAC met on a yearly basis in 2012–14 and, since the start of 2015, there have been three LAC meetings. The Government reiterates that the matters relating to Article 5 of the Convention are not usually individually addressed at LAC meetings. The Government adds that, from time to time, particular issues concerning international labour standards are addressed by different members of the LAC, although not in the committee setting. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held by the LAC on each of the matters listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention, including replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference, proposals to be made to Parliament in connection with the submission of instruments adopted by the Conference, and questions arising out of reports to be made on the application of ratified Conventions under article 22 of the ILO Constitution.
