Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2006, Publicación: 96ª reunión CIT (2007)

Convenio sobre la consulta tripartita (normas internacionales del trabajo), 1976 (núm. 144) - Namibia (Ratificación : 1995)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the report provided by the Government in November 2006 indicating that a new Labour Advisory Council (LAC) was inaugurated in 2006. The Committee notes with interest that, with the assistance of the ILO Subregional Office in Harare and the ILO Project for “Improving Labour Systems in Southern Africa” (ILSSA), the new members of the LAC received an induction course in May 2006, focused on the new Labour Act, 2004, ILO Conventions in general and Convention No. 144 in particular. The Committee notes that the LAC further considered Convention No. 183 for possible ratification, but ultimately advised the Minister of Labour and Social Welfare that is not feasible for Namibia to ratify the Convention at this stage. The Committee welcomes the tripartite consultations held by the LAC and would appreciate receiving more detailed information in the Government’s next report on the content of the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
