Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Malawi (Ratification: 1986)

The Committee notes with regret 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 previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 5, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Convention. The Committee noted that it was anticipated that the representatives of the employers and workers on the Consultative Committee on the Ratification of ILO Conventions (Consultative Committee) would consider how to institute appropriate action on government replies to questionnaires in accordance with paragraph 1, subparagraph (a) of the provision.

The Committee recalled that the Convention requires that effective consultations take place between representatives of the Government and of organizations of employers and workers on all of the points listed under paragraph 1 of this Article of the Convention. The Committee requested the Government to ensure that such consultations take place, and to provide detailed information on them, including information on the work of the Consultative Committee. In this connection, the Committee requested information on the frequency of such consultations, as well as information on the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting from the consultations.

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the consultations held with the representative organizations on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention, as requested by the report form under this Article.
