The Committee takes note of the supplementary information provided by the Government in light of the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 338th Session (June 2020). The Committee proceeded with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information contained in the Government's report received in October 2020.

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes that in reply to its previous comments, the Government indicates that the Executive Bureau of the National Commission for Consultations and Collective Bargaining held 2 meetings in 2019 (21 August and 22 November 2019). It adds that the first plenary session of the National Commission for 2019 took place on 25 November 2019, during which it discussed four draft legislative acts. At the same time, following the meeting of the Executive Bureau on 22 November 2019, the social partners were requested to review the proposals submitted by the members regarding the Commission’s Work Plan for 2019 and to provide their comments for consideration at the Commission’s meeting in December 2019. The social partners were also requested to submit topics for discussion and possible inclusion in the Commission’s 2020 Work Plan. The Committee nevertheless notes that the Government does not indicate whether tripartite consultations were held on any of the matters covered by the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide detailed information on the content, frequency and outcome of the tripartite consultations held on each of the matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention, particularly relating to questionnaires on Conference agenda items (Article 5(1)(a)); the submission of instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Assembly (Article 5(1)(b)); the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (Article 5(1)(c)); questions arising out of reports to be presented on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)); and the possible denunciation of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(e)).

In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Committee recalls the comprehensive guidance provided by international labour standards. It encourages the Government to engage in tripartite consultation and social dialogue more broadly as a solid foundation for developing and implementing effective responses to the profound socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide updated information in its next report on the impact of the measures taken in this respect, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention and Paragraphs 3 and 4 of Recommendation No. 152, including with regard to steps taken to reinforce the capacity of the tripartite constituents and strengthen mechanisms and procedures, as well as challenges and good practices identified.
