Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - India (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending June 1999. It notes with interest the detailed information on the consultations held between 1997 and 1999 on the matters covered by the Convention and the statement that these consultations take place through ad hoc meetings in the Tripartite Committee on Conventions and through correspondence. In its observation of 1998, the Committee noted the critical observations made by representative organizations of workers, and particularly the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) on the manner in which consultations are held. It notes that no observations have since been transmitted to the ILO on the application of the Convention.

The Committee encouraged the Government to continue providing such information as to enable it to fully assess the effect given to the Convention and also invites it to provide copies, where appropriate, of all reports or recommendations resulting from the consultations to which it refers, in accordance with the request set out in the report form under Article 5 of the Convention.
