Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. It also notes the Government’s indication that trade union federations are consulted on international labour standards through the organization of meetings and the forwarding of the instruments in question to gather their comments and observations. The Government adds that they are also consulted concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference (ILC). It also reports the creation of a National Social Dialogue Council (CNDS), a tripartite body comprising government representatives and the most representative organizations of employers and workers, with a view to promoting social dialogue and contributing to the identification of appropriate solutions to issues in the world of work. The Committee requests the Government to specify whether the National Social Dialogue Council (CNDS) is the body empowered to hold tripartite consultations on matters related to international labour standards under Article 5(1) of the Convention, and to provide updated detailed information concerning the frequency, content, purpose and outcome of the consultations held by the CNDS or any other competent body.

Article 3. Choice of representatives. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that elections to determine the most representative trade unions and the method of appointing workers’ representatives to committees or to participate at the ILC have not yet been organized. The Government indicates, however, that a consultation meeting with trade unions will be held in order to select their representatives for the ILC. The Committee requests the Government to provide updated detailed information on the manner in which employers’ and workers’ representatives are chosen for the tripartite consultations required by the Convention.

Article 4. Administrative support. Necessary training of participants in the procedures. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the mandate of the CNDS includes participation in the consideration of policies and strategies on technical and vocational training. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any arrangements made or envisaged to provide administrative support for the operation of the CNDS and to finance the training of participants in the consultation procedures provided for by the Convention, where applicable.

In the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Committee recalls the extensive guidance provided by international labour standards. It encourages the Government to participate in tripartite consultations and social dialogue as a sound basis for formulating and implementing effective responses to the profound socio-economic effects of the pandemic. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide in its next report updated information on the measures taken in this respect, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention, as well as Paragraphs 3 and 4 of Recommendation No. 152, including the measures adopted to build the capacity of the tripartite constituents and reinforce tripartite mechanisms and procedures, and also on the challenges encountered and good practices identified.
