Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Côte d'Ivoire (Ratification: 1987)

1. Articles 5, paragraph 1, and 6 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In its report received in May 2007, the Government states that all the issues dealt with in Article 5, paragraph 1, have been notified to the social partners, but that there has been no reaction from them. The Committee notes that section 8 of Order No. 061/TFP/DTR of 9 January 2003, regulating the Tripartite Committee on matters concerning ILO activities, requires minutes to be taken of every meeting of the committee and that the committee should produce a report, a copy of which shall be sent to the International Labour Office. The Committee refers to its previous direct request and again asks the Government in its next report to provide specific and detailed information on effective tripartite consultations held on each of the matters listed at Article 5, paragraph 1, together with a copy either of the minutes of the Tripartite Committee’s meetings or of its annual activity report.

2. Article 5, paragraph 1(b) and (c). Submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted by the Conference. Ratification prospects. In reply to the previous direct request and concerning ratification of the Part-Time Work Convention, 1994 (No. 175), the Government indicates that because of the state of war in the country, the National Assembly has been unable to come to a decision about the possibility of ratifying this Convention, but that as soon as the social and political climate permits, it will play its role in this respect to the full. The Committee refers the Government to its observation of 2007 on the obligation to submit instruments to parliament, in which it expressed the hope that, the Government will provide relevant information on the submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted by the Conference between 1996 and 2006. It trusts that in its next report, the Government will provide specific and detailed information on the effective tripartite consultations held on the proposals to be submitted to the National Assembly regarding the submission and review of Conventions not yet ratified.
