Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Jamaica (Ratification: 1996)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In its reply to the Committee’s previous direct request, the Government indicates that the Labour Advisory Committee (LAC) currently reviews Conventions only as they relate to topical concerns (for example, HIV/AIDS in the context of occupational safety and health). It further indicates that questionnaires are discussed but final responses are provided on an individual basis by each social partner as consensus is not normally reached at the LAC meetings. The Committee asks the Government to include in its next report further particulars of the consultations held on the other matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention (re-examination of unratified Conventions, article 22 reports, proposals for denunciation). Please also indicate the outcome of the tripartite consultations held during the period covered by the next report on each of the matters covered by the Convention.
