The Committee takes note of the Government’s communication to the ILO of Anukret No. 52 of 1 April 2005 on the organization and running of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, as well as of a series of documents provided in reply to the questions raised by the Committee in its previous comments. The Committee notes that the documents are in the Khmer language. The Committee would be grateful if the Government could provide information on the content of the reference documents provided in its report on each Article of the Convention, so that the Committee might assess the level of conformity of these texts with the Convention.

The Committee notes that, in its report under the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), received by the ILO in May 2010, the Government stated that there had been an improvement in the application of labour legislation since the launching of the programme “Better Factories in Cambodia”, despite pressures due to the economic crisis.

The Committee draws the Government’s attention in this respect to the campaign launched by the Director-General of the ILO for the ratification and promotion of fundamental and governance ILO Conventions, including the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), and the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129). This campaign aims at considerably improving working conditions in all ILO member States, given the major contribution that Conventions on labour inspection can make in this area.

The Committee recalls the resolution on labour administration and labour inspection adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 100th Session in June 2011, which stated that promoting and enforcing decent working conditions, safety and health standards and respect for fundamental rights at work are at the core of labour inspection activities. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the measures taken, if relevant, with a view to strengthening the labour inspection services and strongly encourages the Government to envisage ratifying Convention No. 81 and Convention No. 129.
