Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates in its brief report that tripartite consultations are always held for the purposes of discussing labour matters, although these do not necessarily take place within the National Tripartite Council. Such consultations were held when the National Tripartite Charter on Labour Relations was formulated in 2013 and, more recently, when the Government constituted a National Taskforce on the review of the application of Conventions and reports on international labour standards to address the Committee’s 2013 comments. In response to the Committee’s request, the Government indicates that arrangements are under way to hold tripartite consultations to discuss the Governing Body’s invitation to States parties to certain Conventions, which Uganda has also ratified, namely, Recruiting of Indigenous Workers Convention, 1936 (No. 50), Contracts of Employment (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 64), Penal Sanctions (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 65), Contracts of Employment (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1947 (No. 86), as well as Underground Work (Women) Convention, 1935 (No. 45), to consider denouncing these instruments and contemplate the possibility of ratifying the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), and the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176). The Committee reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the consultations held within the National Tripartite Council, as well as in other tripartite bodies, on the matters set forth in Article 5(1)(a)–(e) of the Convention, including with regard to the instruments adopted by the Conference at 19 sessions held from 1994 to 2015, submitted to Parliament in April 2016.
