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

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 2006)

Consultation procedures. Choice of representatives. The Committee notes the brief replies from the Government to the previous direct request, in a report received in June 2011. The Government indicates that, even though no procedure has been established as regards tripartite consultations, a tripartite national commission on international labour standards will soon be operational. The representatives of employers and workers to the various consultations or negotiations are always appointed by their respective organizations (Article 3 of the Convention). The Committee invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the progress made on establishing a tripartite national commission (Article 2). Pending the establishment of a tripartite national commission, the Committee requests the Government to ensure effective consultations on all the matters relating to international labour standards referred to in Article 5(1) of the Convention.

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In its observation concerning the obligation to submit to the National Assembly the instruments adopted by the Conference, the Committee noted with interest that on 10 October 2008 the National Assembly received the instruments adopted by the Conference at its sessions held between 1988 and 2007. The Committee requests the Government to send specific information on the tripartite consultations held during the next reporting period on questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference, the submission to the National Assembly of the Conventions and Recommendations adopted at the 99th and 100th Sessions of the Conference (2010–11) and concerning the preparation of reports on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(a), (b) and (d)).

Article 4(1) and (2) of the Convention. Administrative support. Financing of training. The Government indicates that it is relaunching its programme of cooperation with the programme to promote the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (PAMODEC) with a view to the financing of necessary training for the social partners. The Committee invites the Government to indicate any new developments arising from PAMODEC assistance regarding the financing of necessary training for persons participating in the procedures required by the Convention.
