Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1981)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its 2006 comment, which read as follows:

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the information contained in the Government’s report received in September 2006. The Government states in its report that the principle of tripartism through social dialogue has been promoted and has resulted, with the technical assistance of the Subregional Office in San José and the interest shown by the Government and employers’ and workers’ organizations, in the approval by the National Assembly of Nicaragua of Act No. 547 of 8 August 2005 creating the National Labour Council. The Committee notes that this tripartite body is composed of an executive committee and a plenary assembly with the function of “serving as a consultative body with a view to the application of Convention No. 144 on tripartite consultations” (section 8(f) of the Act). It requests the Government to continue providing detailed information on the consultations held during the period covered by the next report, including those in the National Labour Council, on each of the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
