Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Belarus (Ratification: 1993)

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates in its report that the tripartite Council for the Improvement of Legislation in the Social and Labour Sphere is the major forum for dialogue between the Government and employers’ and worker’s organizations. It also indicates that tripartite consultations on the matters listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention take place regularly through written correspondence. The Committee recalls that consultations through written communications should be undertaken only “where those involved in the consultative procedures are agreed that such communications are appropriate and sufficient” (see General Survey on tripartite consultations, 2000, paragraph 71). The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held on all matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention, particularly relating to questionnaires on Conference agenda items (Article 5(1)(a)); the submission of instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Assembly (Article 5(1)(b)); the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (Article 5(1)(c)); questions arising out of reports to be presented on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)); and the possible denunciation of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(e)).
