Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Belarus (Ratification: 1993)

1. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that no information is provided in the Government’s latest report on the contents of the consultations held with social partners on the questions set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention and that copies or a summary of the minutes produced by the National Council for Labour on these consultations were not received. It again draws the Government’s attention to the need to supply more detailed and concrete information on the consultations held in order to allow it to assess how the Convention is applied in practice. It therefore requests the Government to supply full and detailed information on the contents of the consultations held during the period covered by the next report on the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, including information as to the frequency of such consultations and the results. In this regard, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the fact that certain subjects (replies to questionnaires, submissions to the competent authorities, reports to be presented to the ILO) require annual consultations, while others (re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations, proposed denunciation of ratified Conventions) require less frequent examination.

2. Article 4. Please describe any arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training of participants on the consultative procedures.
