The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2022, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.

Repetition

Articles 2 and 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no new information. The Government confines itself to reiterating in its report that regular consultations are held in tripartite social dialogue bodies. Reports are prepared by the Government, which sends copies to workers’ and employers’ organizations. The social partners are then responsible for sending their observations to the Government. The Government can subsequently convene a meeting to adopt the documents. The Committee notes the Government’s indications that the conclusions of the last two sessions of tripartite consultations are included in its report. However, the Committee notes that this information does not appear in the report. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the content and outcomes of tripartite consultations held on each issue regarding international labour standards covered by the Convention, particularly regarding consultation on the replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference (Article 5(1)(a)), the submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted by the Conference (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)) and questions which may arise out of reports to be made on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)).

Article 4(2). Training. The Government reiterates that it will forward a paper reporting on the operation of the various tripartite dialogue bodies with regard to the training of participants. In this respect, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the possibility of having recourse to ILO technical assistance. The Committee once again requests the Government to specify whether arrangements have been made or are envisaged for the financing of any necessary training of participants in the consultation procedures provided for by the Convention.
