The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition
Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s indications in its report that a document on the possible ratification and denunciation of ILO Conventions was endorsed by the Secretary of the Department of Labour and has been submitted to the National Tripartite Consultative Council (NTCC) for further deliberation. The Government further indicates that the ratification of the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176) will be given due consideration during this review process, and that a revised Occupational Health and Safety Bill has been adopted by Parliament and is awaiting endorsement by the National Executive Council. The Committee also notes the Government’s reiterated indications that it intends to denounce Convention No. 45, and that it plans to take the necessary step in this regard before 30 May 2017, that is, before this Convention will again be open to denunciation. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on any developments in this respect.
