Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government provides in its report information on the consultations held on the matters set out in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of the Convention. With regard to Article 5(1)(b), the Committee notes that the most representative organizations of employers and workers were consulted in writing when examining the possible ratification of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930. It notes with interest that all of the organizations consulted agreed with the Government’s proposal to ratify the Protocol, which was thereafter submitted to the competent authorities in accordance with article 19 of the ILO Constitution. Moreover, the Committee notes that the Government has requested comments in writing from the most representative organizations of employers and workers regarding the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204). The Committee recalls that according to Recommendation No. 152 consultations through written communications should be undertaken only where those involved in the consultative procedures are agreed that such communications are appropriate and sufficient. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the outcome of tripartite consultations held on the matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention.
