Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Namibia (Ratification: 1995)

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates in its report that, in 2013 and 2014, the questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and the reports on ratified and unratified Conventions were brought before the Labour Advisory Council. Members of the Council opted to discuss the reports with their constituencies and send any observations they may have directly to the ILO. The Government adds that consultations and research continue to be carried out on the possibility of ratifying Conventions. The latest research being carried out in this regard is the gap analysis on the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188). The Committee notes from the report that, once the analysis is completed, the findings will be brought before the Labour Advisory Council in order for Council members to make recommendations on whether or not to ratify the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide detailed information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held on each of the matters concerning international labour standards listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention.
