Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Congo (Ratification: 1999)

The Committee notes 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 2011 direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Articles 2 and 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the detailed report from the Government for the period ending in September 2010, received in June 2011. The Committee notes that the Technical Advisory Committee on International Labour Standards, the establishment of which was provided for by Order No. 788 of 6 September 1999, has not yet begun to operate. The Government indicates that consultations are taking place relating to general conditions of work and on replies to the questionnaires on the items placed on the agenda of the International Labour Conference. The Government draws up reports and sends copies to the workers’ and employers’ organizations. The social partners are responsible for sending their observations to the Government. The Government can then convene a meeting with a view to adopting the documents. The Committee hopes the Government will continue to report on the steps taken to establish procedures that ensure effective consultations on international labour standards. It invites the Government to provide regular information on all the matters referred to in Article 5(1) of the Convention.

Article 4(2). Training. The Government indicates in its report that the necessary training for participants in the consultations is provided by the State. The Committee invites the Government to consider making arrangements, with possible assistance from the ILO, to provide training for participants in the consultative procedures.
