Repetition

The Committee notes the Government’s report contains no reply to its previous comments. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.

Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes with interest that the National Tripartite Council Act No. 2 of 2015 was adopted on 3 March 2015. The Government indicates that the National Tripartite Council (NTC), composed of representatives of the social partners, held its inaugural meeting on 1 June 2015, in which the Government and the social partners discussed matters relating to the welfare of workers in the country. The Committee notes that section 4 of the Act, on Functions and Powers of the Council, refers to matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention. Section 11 of the Act provides for administrative support and for the appointment of staff to assist with the discharge of the functions of the NTC. Moreover, the Government indicates that the NTC is presently generating annual reports, but that these were not yet available at the time that the Government submitted its report to the ILO. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held on each of the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention, such as the submission of Conventions and Recommendations adopted by the Conference to Parliament (Article 5(1)(b)), and the questions arising out of reports on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)). The Committee also requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the National Tripartite Council with respect to the matters covered by the Convention, including copies of the Council’s annual reports as soon as they become available.
