Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Indonesia (Ratification: 1990)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in August 2011 to its 2009 observation. The Government indicates that the National Tripartite Cooperation Institution in Indonesia has conducted consultations regarding international labour standards which resulted in the signing of the Indonesian Jobs Pact 2011–14 (IJP) in April 2011. The Government also intends to discuss the comments made by the Committee of Experts regarding the Trade Union/Labour Union Act (Law No. 21 of 2000) regarding the application of Conventions Nos 87 and 98. The Committee notes with interest that the IJP is a commitment by government, employers and workers representatives based on the Decent Work Agenda and the 2008 Social Justice Declaration. The four pillars of the Organization are the basis for its implementation, as part of the effort to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by Indonesia. Under the IJP, the social partners intend to strengthen the National Tripartite Institution (LKS Tripnas) and the regional tripartite institutions by holding regular workshops/seminars at the national, provincial, and district/city level involving appropriate resource persons from the constituents and independent experts. The Committee expresses its hope that as part of the progress made under the IJP, the Government will be in a position to provide in its next report on Convention No. 144 detailed information to demonstrate how the tripartite consultations on international labour standards required by the Convention are actually held in practice. The Committee once again requests the Government to report on the effective consultations held by the National Tripartite Cooperation Institution as required by Article 5(1) of the Convention.
