Saint Lucia

The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the eighth year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. Seventeen reports are now due on fundamental and technical Conventions, including the first report on the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006). In addition, most of these reports should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments.

On the basis of the decision of the Committee concerning the treatment of urgent appeals for countries that have not supplied reports due for the past three years or more, the Committee decided to examine at this session the application of Conventions Nos 5, 12, 17, 19, 29, 87, 98, 100, 105, 111, 154 and 182, based on public information at its disposal.

The Committee firmly hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments. The Committee reminds the Government that it may avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office in this regard.
