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

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Suriname (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending 31 May 2001. In reply to previous comments, the Government states that the tripartite Labour Advisory Board had not been active for some time, but a new board was established in October 2000. Since then, a tripartite meeting was held on the items on the agenda of the 89th Session (June 2001) of the Conference. The Labour Advisory Board has proposed ratification of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182), but consultations on ratification of other instruments have not yet been held. The Committee notes this information and asks the Government to continue to provide detailed information on the consultations undertaken by the Labour Advisory Board on all the issues set out in Article 5 of the Convention, including the frequency of consultations and on the nature of any resulting reports or recommendations.
