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

Libya

Serious failure to submit. The Committee once again notes with deepconcern that the Government has yet again provided no reply to its previous comments. 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 once again expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in June 2016, June 2017, June 2018, June 2019, June 2021, June 2022 and June 2023, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authorities. The Committee therefore urges the Government provide information without further delay on the submission to the competent national authorities (within the meaning of article 19(5) and (6) of the ILO Constitution) of the 37 Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols adopted by the Conference at 19 sessions held between 1996 and 2019.

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.
