Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Burundi (Ratification: 1997)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in June 2006 and the comments of the Trade Union Confederation of Burundi (COSYBU), received in September 2005, in which the trade union organization deplores the lack of time accorded to tripartite consultations in which it would wish to participate more intensively. In reply to previous comments, the Government states that tripartite consultations have not been held on the possibility of ratifying ILO instruments, on the reports due under article 22 of the ILO Constitution and on proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions. Noting the Government’s statement that its next report will undoubtedly contain the outcome of the tripartite consultations held, the Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to provide detailed information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held during the period covered by the next report, particularly on issues related to the reports to be made to the ILO and the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations (Article 5, paragraph 1(c) and (d), of the Convention).
