Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

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

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 previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government's report in reply to its previous comments. It notes in particular that the Tripartite Consultative Committee on Ratification of ILO Conventions, established in 1985, is currently in the process of reviewing the labour legislation to incorporate provisions of a number of Conventions and Recommendations regardless of whether the Conventions have been adopted or ratified.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report full information on the consultations which have taken place on each of the matters set forth in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, particularly (b), (c) and (d), including information on the frequency of the consultations, and to indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result.

The Committee hopes that the Government's next report will also contain the detailed information required under Article 6 of the report form.

Finally, it takes due note of the request for technical assistance from the ILO made by the Government concerning the training of participants on consultative procedures and hopes that the ILO will be able to act on it.
