Observation on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Malta

Submission. The Committee notes with interest the ratification by Malta of the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189) on 14 May 2021. The Committee notes however that the Government has once again not responded to the Committee’s previous comments with respect to the submission of pending instruments. It recalls once more that the constitutional obligation of submission is of the highest importance and is a fundamental element of the standards system of the ILO. The Committee therefore reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission to the House of Representatives of the ten instruments adopted by the Conference at its 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions (2007–19).

The Committee once again recalls that the Government may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in achieving compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.
