The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the fourth year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. Twenty-four reports are now due, including the first reports on the Home Work Convention, 1996 (No. 177), the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), the Safety and Health in Agriculture Convention, 2001 (No. 184), the Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003, as amended (No. 185), the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188), and the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189). Most of the reports due should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments, including on fundamental Conventions.

On the basis of the decision of the Committee concerning the treatment of urgent appeals, the Committee decided to examine, at this session, the application of Conventions Nos 87, 98 and 154 for which the reports have not been received for three years or more, based on public information at its disposal.

Recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues this year by the ILO Decent Work Team for the Caribbean and the International Training Centre of the ILO, the Committee firmly hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments.
