Article 4(2) of the Convention. Financing of training. The Committee notes the detailed information provided in the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. It notes that the National Tripartite Committee is composed of five representatives of the Government, five representatives of employers’ organizations and five representatives of workers’ organizations. It further notes that section 113(3) of the Labour Act provides that the Ministry of Labour must provide the National Tripartite Committee with such secretarial services as the Committee may require for the effective performance of its functions. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training of participants in the consultative procedures, and information on any such training that has taken place.

Article 5(1). Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes that the functions of the National Tripartite Committee are included in section 113 of the Labour Act and section 113(b) mentions “international labour standards” among the issues to be discussed. The Government indicates in its report that the National Tripartite Committee has deliberated on the points enumerated in Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Committee welcomes the information provided and requests the Government to provide specific information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held on the matters covered by Article 5(1)(a), (b), (d) and (e) of the Convention.

Article 5(1)(c). Re-examination of unratified Conventions. The Government indicates that the National Tripartite Committee discussed unratified Conventions (the Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97), and the Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143)) and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (the Migration for Employment Recommendation (Revised), 1949 (No. 86), and the Migrant Workers Recommendation, 1975 (No. 151)). The Government states that the National Tripartite Committee is working on the ratification of these Conventions. The Committee refers to its 2015 direct request on the application of the Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96), in which it noted the Government’s indications that it was instituting, in consultation with the stakeholders, the ratification process of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181). The Committee also refers to its 2015 direct request on the application of the Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107), in which it recalled that the Governing Body, at its 270th Session (November 1997), invited States parties to Convention No. 107 to contemplate ratifying the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), which will, ipso jure, involve the immediate denunciation of Convention No. 107 (document GB.270/LILS/3(Rev.1)). The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the tripartite consultations on the re-examination of unratified Conventions, including Conventions Nos 97 and 143, as well as the two remaining Governance Conventions (the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129)). It also requests the Government to provide information on the consultations held concerning Conventions Nos 169 and 181.
