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

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes with regret 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 2006 direct request, which read as follows:

Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the brief replies supplied by the Government in May 2006 to its 2003 direct request. It refers to its previous comments and recalls again that certain subjects covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention (replies to questionnaires (a), submissions to the National Assembly (b), reports to be made to the ILO (d)) involve annual consultation, while others (re-examination of unratified Conventions and of Recommendations (c), proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions (e)) call for less frequent examination. Noting that the Amerindian Bill has been referred to a Select Committee of Parliament following queries to certain sections by the opposition, the Committee reiterates its interest in any ongoing consultations concerning unratified Conventions. Please also supply information on the frequency of consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting therefrom (Article 5, paragraph 2).
