Articles 2-5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes with interest the detailed information provided by the Government in its report on the holding of tripartite consultations between September 2018 and August 2021 on each of the matters relating to international labour standards required by the Convention. The matters addressed include the submission of the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190), and its accompanying Recommendation No. 206. The Government reiterates that, in 2018, the National Tripartite Committee on Labour Relations and Freedom of Association (CNTRLLS) assumed the functions of the former Tripartite Committee on International Labour Affairs. In addition to these functions, under section 2 of Ministerial Decision No. 45-2018, the CNTRLLS is also tasked with putting forward tripartite legislative proposals on labour matters to be submitted to the National Congress, and also with providing guidance on the action needed to implement the key indicators of the road map and timeline relating to the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87), and with resolving any disputes arising in its implementation. With regard to developments regarding the possible ratification of the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), the Government indicates that proposal No. 4981, whereby the ratification of this Convention is planned, is awaiting adoption by the National Congress. The Government also reports on the measures adopted since 2011 by the National Office for Women (ONAM), in collaboration with other domestic workers’ institutions and organizations in the country, to promote the ratification of Convention No. 189. Lastly, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the tripartite consultations held in the context of the CNTRLLS regarding, inter alia, the development of the ILO technical assistance and cooperation programme as well as the proposed amendments to the Labour Code and other relevant laws in compliance with the requests of the ILO supervisory bodies in the context of the examination of the complaint made in 2012 under article 26 of the ILO Constitution concerning non-observance of Convention No. 87. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing detailed, up-to-date information on the consultations held on each of the matters relating to international labour standards covered by Article 5(1)(a)–(e) of the Convention. The Committee also requests the Government to continue providing information on any developments in the possible ratification of Convention No. 189.
