Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Kuwait (Ratification: 2000)

Effective tripartite consultations required by the Conventions. The Committee notes the reply supplied by the Government to its previous observation in the report received in August 2010. It further notes with interest that, following the adoption in February 2010 of new labour legislation for the private sector, a Consultative Committee for Labour Affairs was established by Ministerial Order No. 132/a of 2010. The Committee is presided over by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and is composed of Government representatives, as well as representatives of employers and of workers. The Government also states that it intends to communicate to the Committee all decisions and recommendations formulated by the new Consultative Committee after it holds its first meeting. The Committee welcomes the Government’s intention to provide information on these developments and hopes that the Government will provide in its next report detailed information on the consultations held by the Consultative Committee for Labour Affairs on the matters relating to international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention.
