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

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Mongolia (Ratification: 1998)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2003 direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention, received in February 2003. It also notes the information from an ILO mission to Ulaan Baatar in May-June 2003.

2. The Committee notes the creation, by Government Decision No. 18 of 1996, of a National Advisory Commission. The Government indicates in its report that this Committee has however not been able to develop its activities and that practical cooperation measures have not been adopted. The Committee also notes the rules, formulated with ILO technical assistance, of a subcommission which is specifically responsible for the issues covered by Convention No. 144.

3. In order to be able to assess the application of the Convention as a whole, the Committee requests the Government to provide practical information on the manner in which the subcommission, or any other tripartite body, ensures effective consultations between the representatives of the Government, employers’ and workers’ on all the items envisaged under Article 5, paragraph 1, of Convention No. 144. Please indicate the frequency of consultations and the nature of the recommendations made as a result of the consultations held in the subcommission (Article 5, paragraph 2).

4. Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Government indicates in its report that, if necessary, the Commission may establish a budget with equal contributions from each of the three parties to finance its activities. The Committee therefore requests the Government to specify the manner in which the competent authority assumes responsibility for the administrative support of the procedures provided for in the Convention.

5. Please also describe any arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training of participants in the consultation procedures (Article 4, paragraph 2) and provide information on the consultations held with the representative organizations, on the "working of the procedures", as envisaged in the Convention (Article 6).
