Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the detailed replies contained in the Government’s report received in November 2011. The Labour Advisory Board (LAB) held ten meetings in 2010 and five meetings up to June 2011. The LAB undertook a review to compare all Conventions ratified by Belize with the Labour Act. The Committee also notes that after being reviewed by the LAB, the Labour Commissioner will draft a cabinet paper to the effect that steps be taken to ratify the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006). The LAB also recommended to denounce the Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89). The Committee recalls that in its 2009 direct request on Convention No. 89, it already invited the Government to hold consultations with the social partners, and in particular with women workers, to consider the possibility of ratifying the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171). The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report on Convention No. 144 up-to-date information on the activities of the LAB concerning the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention.

Tripartite consultations prior to submission to the National Assembly. The Government indicates in its report that the instruments adopted by the Conference have not yet been submitted to the National Assembly. The Committee refers to its observation on the obligation of submission as provided for in article 19, paragraphs 5 and 6, of the ILO Constitution in which it noted that 43 instruments adopted by the Conference are still awaiting submission. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the effective consultations held with the social partners on the proposals made to the National Assembly in relation to the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference (Article 5(1)(b)).
