Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2014, publiée 104ème session CIT (2015)

Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Burkina Faso (Ratification: 2001)

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. In reply to the 2012 direct request, the Government indicates in the report received in December 2013 that the establishment of the national consultation framework on international standards is proceeding. The Committee notes that texts have been drawn up by the Ministry of Labour and that the social partners and competent bodies validated these texts during a workshop held in February 2013. The Government indicates that a tripartite national advisory committee on international labour standards will start its work in practice following the adoption by the Council of Ministers of the various texts governing its operation. The Committee recalls that the consultations required by the Convention can be undertaken without being governed by any specific provision of domestic law. The Convention can also be given effect through measures adopted in accordance with customary law or practice as well as through the enactment of laws and regulations (see Part I of the report form and paragraphs 48–51 of the 2000 General Survey on tripartite consultation). The Committee invites the Government to provide a report containing detailed information enabling the Committee to confirm that, as required by Article 5(1) of the Convention, effective tripartite consultations on international labour standards are held in practice. It hopes that the Government will be in a position to provide updated and detailed information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held in 2014 and 2015 on each of the matters set out in Article 5(1). The Committee recalls the requirement under the Convention that consultations shall be held at appropriate intervals fixed by agreement, but at least once a year (Article 5(2)).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
