The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2004 direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the Government’s statement indicating that the application of this Convention continues to depend on active tripartite participation, and that consultations were undertaken particularly at the time of revision of the national labour legislation and on other items connected with labour, employment and industrial relations. The Government also states that training on the procedures and content of international labour standards might increase the effectiveness of tripartite consultation. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice (Part V of the report form) and to provide additional information on the following points.

2. Article 4 of the Convention.The Government states that it has received technical and financial assistance from the ILO to hold seminars and workshops on consultative procedures. The Committee hopes that the assistance will be continued and invites the Government to keep the Committee informed of any progress in its next report.

3. Article 5.The Committee notes the brief information supplied in the Government’s report in relation to consultations covered by Article 5, paragraph 1. It again hopes that the Government’s next report will include more details on the consultations held on replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference, the proposals to be made to Parliament on the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference between 1995 and 2003, and on questions arising out of article 22 reports (Article 5, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (d)).

4. Paragraph 1(c) and (e).The Committee recalls that the ILO Governing Body has invited States which are parties to the Recruiting of Indigenous Workers Convention, 1936 (No. 50), the Contracts of Employment (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 64), the Penal Sanctions (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 65), and to the Contracts of Employment (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1947 (No. 86) – all of which Uganda has ratified and which remain in force – to contemplate ratifying the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), and denouncing Conventions Nos. 50, 64, 65 and 86 at the same time. States parties to the Underground Work (Women) Convention, 1935 (No. 45), were invited to contemplate ratifying the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176). Please indicate if consultation is envisaged on this matter.

5. Article 6.The Committee again requests the Government to indicate whether the representative organizations were consulted with regard to the production of an annual report on the operation of the procedures covered by the Convention and, if so, to state the outcome of these consultations.
