Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2008 in which the Government indicates its intention to achieve decent work through promotion of international labours standards and to meet its obligations with respect to ratified Conventions. The Government reports that continuous consultations are held between government representatives and the employees’ and workers’ representatives through joint committees. The Committee notes that the social partners were consulted for the preparation of the reports that were received in 2008. The Committee recalls that the country is undergoing a process of reconstruction, and refers to the 2008 Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization which stated that “social dialogue and the practice of tripartism between governments and the representative organizations of workers and employers within and across borders are now much more relevant to achieving solutions and to building up social cohesion and the rule of law through, among other means, international labour standards”. The Committee therefore invites the Government and the social partners to continue to report on measures taken to promote tripartite consultation on international labour standards, as requested by Article 5, paragraph 1, of Convention No. 144, a Convention that is to be regarded as most significant from the viewpoint of governance.
