Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1998, publiée 87ème session CIT (1999)

Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Bélarus (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes the Government's last report and the information contained in response to the Committee's previous direct request. It notes the Government's statement to the effect that consultations have been held within the National Council on Labour and Social Issues relative to the ratification of the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155). The Committee requests the Government to keep the ILO informed of the outcome of these consultations and hopes that it will be in a position to shortly provide detailed information in respect of the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, and to indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations. In this respect, with reference to the Government's statement to the effect that no consultations have taken place on the matters set out in the above Article 5, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (e), the Committee wishes to recall that certain matters referred to (responses to questionnaires, submissions to the competent authorities, reports to be submitted to the ILO) imply annual consultation, whereas others (the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations, the proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions) require less frequent consultation.

Moreover, the Government is asked to specify whether, in conformity with the requirements of Article 4, paragraph 2, arrangements have been made or are envisaged for the financing of any necessary training of participants on the consultative procedures. Finally, the Government is requested to indicate, as required under Article 6, whether consultations have been held with regard to issuing an annual report by the National Council on Labour and Social Issues with regard to its working of the ILO activities and the procedures provided for in the Convention.
