Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. TheGovernment indicates that, during the reporting period, written consultations took place with the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee nevertheless notes that the Government does not provide information on the content or outcome of these consultations to enable the Committee to assess whether the consultations held indeed examined all of the matters relating to international labour standards as required under Article 5(1) of the Convention. Nor does the Government indicate whether and in what manner it has been determined that the tripartite partners are in agreement that written consultations are adequate for purposes of giving effect to the provisions of the Convention. In this respect, the Committee once again recalls that Paragraph 2(3)(d) of Recommendation No. 152 indicates that consultations may be undertaken through written communications “where those involved in the consultative procedures are agreed that such communications are appropriate and sufficient”. The Committee notes the Government’s undertaking to ensure that tripartite discussions are held on issues related to international labour standards. In addition, noting the Government’s request for technical assistance in giving effect to Article 5(1) of the Convention, the Committee expresses the hope that the Office will provide the requested assistance as soon as practicable. The Committee requests the Government to provide specific, detailed and updated information on the frequency, content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held within the Labour Advisory Council on all of the matters related to international labour standards set out in Article 5(1)(a) through (e) of the Convention. It also requests the Government to indicate whether and in what manner it has been agreed among those involved in the consultative procedures that written communications are appropriate and sufficient for purposes of giving effect to the provisions of the Convention.
