Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2006. It notes that, following tripartite consultations, the Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143), was ratified by the Philippines on 14 September 2006. The Committee notes the resolution of the Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (TIPC) of 2005, recommending the denunciation of the Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89). The Committee recalls that, under the terms of Article 15 of Convention No. 89, the latter Convention may only be denounced between 27 February 2011 and 27 February 2012. The Committee refers to its 2004 observation on the application of Convention No. 89 and hopes that the Government’s next report on Convention No. 144 will contain information on any consultations held between the Government and the social partners on the possibility of ratifying the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171), as well as on the other matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of Convention No. 144.
