Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

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

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In its report, received in October 2004, the Government indicates that before the delegation departs for the International Labour Conference, tripartite consultations are held on the items on the agenda of the Conference and on the proposals to be made to the competent authority in connection with the submission of Conventions and Recommendations, pursuant to article 19 of the ILO Constitution. Furthermore, when the Tripartite Labour Advisory Council meets this year, it will consider the unratified Conventions which the Government thinks need to be ratified. Referring to the observation it has been making for several years on the failure to submit to the National Assembly 23 instruments adopted by the Conference between 1995 and 2003, the Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the consultations held on all the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention during the period covered by the next report, specifying their purpose and frequency, and the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting from the consultations.
