Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes with interest the Government’s indication that the National Advisory Committee on Labour (NACOLA) discussed and approved the ratification of the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187). The Government further indicates that discussions on Convention No. 187 are at an advanced stage. In this context, the Government reports that the National Advisory Committee for Occupational Safety and Health requested a workshop on Convention No. 187. In addition, the Committee welcomes the ratification of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 on 22 August 2019. The Government does not, however, indicate whether consultations were held within the NACOLA prior to ratification of the 2014 Protocol. Moreover, the Government does not provide information regarding whether tripartite consultations were held during the reporting period on all matters required under Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide updated detailed information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held on all matters concerning international labour standards covered by Article 5(1)(a)–(e) of the Convention.

Article 5(1)(b). Submission to Parliament. The Committee notes that the Government has not submitted to the competent authorities four instruments adopted by the Conference at its 103rd, 104th and 106th sessions (2010–17). The Committee recalls that the Convention requires governments to consult the representative organizations of employers and workers before finalizing proposals to be submitted to the competent authorities concerning the instruments adopted by the Conference (see General Survey on Tripartite Consultations, 2000, paragraph 85). The Committee refers to its longstanding observations on the constitutional obligation of submission. It requests the Government to indicate whether tripartite consultations have been held with respect to the proposals made to the National Assembly and to the Senate in connection with the submission of the above-mentioned instruments, including information regarding the date(s) on which the instruments were submitted to the competent authorities. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the content and the outcome of tripartite consultations held in relation to the submission of the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190), and its accompanying Recommendation, adopted by the Conference at its 108th Session.
