Observation on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2024, published 113rd ILC session (2025)

Kyrgyzstan

Failure to submit. The Committee notes with interest Kyrgyzstan’s ratification of the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190), on 3 June 2024. At the same time, the Committee notes with deep concern that the Government has once again failed to reply to its previous comments. The Committee therefore refers yet again to the comments it has been formulating since 1994, and recalls that, under article 19 of the ILO Constitution, every Member undertakes to bring the instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference before the authority or authorities within whose competence the matter lies for their information and action, as deemed appropriate. 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 firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to the competent national authority of the 42 instruments adopted by the Conference at the 22 sessions held from 1992 to 2019. It also requests the Government to provide information on the submission of the Safe and Healthy Working Environment (Consequential Amendments) Convention (No. 191) and Recommendation (No. 207), 2023, and the Quality Apprenticeships Recommendation, 2023 (No. 208), adopted by the Conference at its 111th Session.

The Committee reminds the Government that it may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in overcoming this serious delay and 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.
