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

The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending June 1997. The Committee notes with interest the information that the draft Labour Code, which was drawn up with the technical assistance of the ILO and which includes the provisions of the ILO's Conventions and Recommendations, is currently being examined by the Tripartite Consultative Committee on the Ratification of ILO Conventions. The Committee also notes the information that the most representative organizations of employers and workers are consulted, in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 1(d), of the Convention, on the questions which may arise from the reports due from the Government in accordance with article 22 of the ILO Constitution. The Committee trusts that the consultations will, in the future, address each of the matters laid down in Article 5, paragraph 1, and that, where appropriate, the Government will not fail to provide in its next report as full and detailed information as is possible on such consultations, including their frequency and the nature of all the reports and recommendations arising out of the consultations. Finally, the Committee notes the Government's reply concerning the application of Article 6 and requests the Government to hold consultations, as soon as possible, on the appropriateness of issuing an annual report on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention and to provide, where necessary, information on their results.
