Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes with interest the detailed information provided by the Government on tripartite consultations held within the Permanent ILO Committee (Det faste ILO-udvalg) during the reporting period on matters regarding international labour standards. With regard to the re-examination of unratified Conventions, the Government indicates that the social partners have given their preliminary support for the ratification of the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), and that the final decision is awaiting the adoption of further legislative measures. The Committee notes that the Permanent ILO Committee has also discussed the possible ratification of the Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132). The Government adds that tripartite consultations were held during the reporting period in relation to the possible ratification of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188). The Committee notes that, following these consultations, the Government ratified Convention No. 188 on 3 February 2020. Finally, the Government indicates that the Permanent ILO Committee has also held consultations in relation to the ILO’s Future of Work Initiative as well as the ILO Centenary. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide updated information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held on all matters covered by the Convention.

In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Committee recalls the comprehensive guidance provided by international labour standards. It encourages Member States to engage in tripartite consultation and social dialogue more broadly as a solid foundation for developing and implementing effective responses to the profound socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. The Committee invites the Government to provide updated information in its next report on measures taken in this respect, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention and Paragraphs 3 and 4 of Recommendation No. 152, including with regard to steps taken to build the capacity of the tripartite constituents and strengthen mechanisms and procedures, as well as challenges and good practices identified.
