The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report, due since 2014, has not been received. In light of its urgent call to the Government in 2020, the Committee proceeded with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal. The Committee recalls that it raised questions concerning compliance with the Convention in a direct request, particularly with regard to: (i) the express recognition by legislation of the right to collective bargaining of workers in the fire services and prison officers; (ii) the components of conciliation and arbitration for collective bargaining purposes; and (iii) the adoption of measures to encourage and promote the development of collective bargaining. Having received no observations from the social partners and having no indication of progress on these pending issues at its disposal, the Committee refers to its previous direct request adopted in 2020, and urges the Government to provide a full reply. For this purpose, the Committee recalls that the Government can avail itself of the technical assistance of the ILO.
