Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the Government’s report indicating that the Ministry of Manpower consults extensively and regularly with the tripartite partners. Tripartite consultations have been initiated by the Government on a regular basis to review unratified Conventions. In this regard and in reply to its previous comments on the re-examination of unratified Conventions, the Committee notes the information provided in relation to the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), namely some of the measures taken to promote employment. Moreover, tripartite consultations were held in advance of submitting reports to the ILO regarding the standard-setting items on the agenda of the 103rd Session (2014) of the Conference with a view to supplementing the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29), as well as regarding facilitating transitions from the informal to the formal economy. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on the content and outcome of the consultations held on the matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention, including consultations on the re-examination of unratified fundamental Conventions and Convention No. 122, a governance Convention (Article 5(1)(c)).
