Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention, received in September 2009. The Government indicates that exchanges of correspondence ensure the consultations required by the Convention: the Government sends correspondence (meeting notifications) to the social partners stating the nature and objectives of the activity. It also indicates that tripartite meetings are convened with a view to preparing the reports to be presented under articles 19 and 22 of the ILO Constitution. The Committee requests the Government to supply further information in its next report on the operation of the consultation procedures on international labour standards. It also requests the Government to provide detailed information on the consultations held and also on the recommendations made on each of the matters referred to in Article 5(1) of the Convention.

Article 5(1)(c) and (e). Re-examination of unratified Conventions. Denunciations. The Committee recalls its comments on the Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52), ratified by Mali. It recalls that the ratification of the Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132), would entail the automatic denunciation of Convention No. 52. The Government might also wish to consider, in cooperation with the social partners, the possibility of ratifying the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129), Conventions which are both considered, in the ILO’s 2008 on Social Justice Declaration, to be among the instruments that are the most significant from the viewpoint of governance.
