Failure to submit. The Committee notes with concern that the Government has provided no reply to its previous comments. It once more recalls the information provided by the Government concerning the submission to the President on 12 December 2018 of the HIV and AIDS Recommendation, 2010 (No. 200), adopted by the Conference at its 99th Session, the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), adopted by the Conference at its 100th Session, the Forced Labour (Supplementary Measures) Recommendation, 2014 (No. 203), adopted by the Conference at its 103rd Session, and the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204), adopted by the Conference at its 104th Session. In addition, the Government indicated that the Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience Recommendation, 2017 (No. 205), was submitted to the competent authority. The Government has not provided information on the submission of the Violence and Harassment Convention (No. 190) and its Recommendation (No. 206), 2019. The Committee once again recalls that the constitutional obligation of submission is of the highest importance and is a fundamental element of the standards system of the ILO. While recalling the Government’s indication that the President is a member of the Parliament, the Committee wishes to reiterate that the obligation of submission cannot be considered to have been fulfilled until the ILO instruments adopted have reached and been submitted to the legislative body. The Committee therefore once again requests that the Government provide information on the submission to Parliament, and the dates of submission, of the nine instruments adopted by the Conference at its 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions (2010–19).

The Committee recalls that the Government may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in achieving compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.
