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

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Solomon Islands (Ratification: 1985)

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 previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. Insertion of labour clauses in public contracts. The Committee notes that a labour law reform is currently under way in consultation with the employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any possible legislative changes which may impact on the application of the Convention.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes that the Government has submitted information on the practical application of the Convention for the last time in 1987. It would therefore appreciate receiving up to date information on the application of the Convention in practice, including copies of recent public contracts containing labour clauses, statistics on the number of public contracts awarded and the average number of workers concerned, extracts from inspection reports and any other particulars which would enable the Committee to evaluate the conformity of national law and practice with the requirements of the Convention.
