Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the Government’s very brief report received in May 2012 in reply to its previous comments. The Government indicates that the ILO Tripartite Committee is required to meet monthly but sometimes meetings are cancelled due to no quorum. The Government also reports that consultations on unratified Conventions have not been done seriously and this issue will be brought to the attention of the Subcommittee (Article 5(1)(c) of the Convention). The Committee refers to its 2012 direct request on the Unemployment Convention, 1919 (No. 2), in which it invited the Government and the social partners to contemplate ratifying more recent employment Conventions, that is, the Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88), the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181). The Committee invites the Government to include in its next report information on any development with regard to tripartite consultations on unratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(c) of the Convention).

Replies to questionnaires, submissions to the Assembly of Parliament and reports to be made to the ILO. The Committee has been recalling for many years that certain subjects covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention (replies to questionnaires (a), submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference to the Assembly of the Parliament (b), and reports to be made to the ILO (d)) involve annual consultation. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to provide in its next report information on tripartite consultations held on the matters covered by Article 5(1)(a), (b) and (d).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2013.]
