Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s statement in its report received in September 2006 that the internal procedures to initiate the process of ratifying the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102), should start by the end of 2006. It notes that the procedures for the consultation of the social partners and the Economic and Social Council (CES), an independent tripartite body, are compulsory in the context of the formulation of laws and the ratification of international Conventions. It therefore requests the Government to continue providing detailed information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held, particularly in social dialogue commissions and the CES, on each of the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention during the period covered by the next report.
