Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the reply to its previous direct request contained in the report received in January 2006. The Government indicates that the Instrument for the Amendment of the Constitution of the ILO, 1997, has been approved by the National Congress. Furthermore, Convention No. 169 is undergoing its second constitutional reading in the Senate, with the procedure for its parliamentary approval pending. The Committee welcomes the information provided and hopes that the Government will continue providing information on the ratification prospects of other Conventions referred to in previous reports (Conventions Nos. 152, 160, 171 and 181) (Article 5, paragraph 1(c), of the Convention). The Committee refers to the observation that it is making on compliance with the obligation to submit the instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Congress and hopes that the Government will provide information in the near future on the tripartite consultations required by the Convention in relation to that constitutional obligation (Article 5, paragraph 1(b)).
