Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Togo (Ratification: 1983)

With reference to its observation, the Committee notes that the Government's report again contains no reply to its comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct requests, especially on those concerning Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee recalls that this key provision of the Convention provides for consultations on:

(a) government replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and government comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference;

(b) the proposals to be made to the competent authority or authorities in connection with the submission of Conventions and Recommendations pursuant to article 19 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organization;

(c) the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given, to consider what measures might be taken to promote their implementation and ratification as appropriate;

(d) questions arising out of reports to be made to the International Labour Office under article 22 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organization;

(e) proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions.

According to Article 5, paragraph 2, such consultations have to take place once a year.

Please indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.
