Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2006, Publicación: 96ª reunión CIT (2007)

1. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Government indicates in its report received in August 2006 that a Committee on Domestic Labour in the Private Sector was set up by Order No. 568 of 2005 of the Council of Ministers, and that a committee responsible for amending the draft Labour Code governing the private sector was set up by Ministerial Decree No. 168 of 2003. The Government further indicates that Ministerial Order No. 184 of 1999, which the Committee already noted in its 2005 direct request, established a committee to discuss international labour standards. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the establishment of these committees is evidence that the principle of tripartite consultation is applied in Kuwait, and requests the Government in its next report to provide more specific information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held, particularly in the committee to discuss international labour standards, on each of the subjects listed at Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

2. Working of consultation procedures. The Committee refers to the comments it has been making since 2003 and again requests the Government to indicate whether annual reports are issued on the working of the consultation procedures and, if so, to provide a copy of the reports produced during the period covered by the next report. If not, please provide information on the consultations held with representative organizations on this matter (Article 6).
