Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. In reply to the 2013 direct request, the Government recalled in September 2014 that the Tripartite Commission on International Relations (CTRI) of the Ministry of Labour and Employment is the principal tripartite body for international policy matters. The Committee notes that, during the period 2011–14, the CTRI met three times a year to examine matters related to the promotion of international labour standards and to prepare and promote the participation of delegations in the sessions of the Conference. The Government emphasizes that the CTRI agreed on the submission to the National Congress of the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), and its accompanying Recommendation No. 201, as well as the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930. The Government indicates that in addition to the CTRI, there are other consultation bodies which promote the application of international labour standards, such as the Labour Relations Council, which is of tripartite composition, and has the principal objective of prohibiting anti-union practices, and the Tripartite Working Group, responsible for developing the National Employment and Decent Work Plan. The Committee invites the Government to provide updated information on the effective tripartite consultations held on the matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention.
