Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. In its 2016 direct request, the Committee requested the Government to report on the measures taken to promote tripartite consultations on international labour standards, and the frequency and nature of such consultations. In addition, the Committee requested the Government to provide full particulars on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held in respect of Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Government reports that the mechanisms and procedures for tripartite consultations include: the Central Labour Advisory Council, the Minimum Wage Fixation Committee, the Labour Coordination Committee and the International Labour Standards Reporting Committee. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that representatives of the tripartite constituents are invited and involved in discussing reporting requirements, commissioning studies on unratified Conventions and determining the Government’s response and comments at the International Labour Conference.

The Government indicates that a total of 20 tripartite consultations were held in 2016 and 2017 on Convention No. 155 and the Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience Recommendation, 2017 (No. 205). The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to promote tripartite consultations on international labour standards.
