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

Iran (Islamic Republic of)

Submission. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in November 2024 indicating that on 15 June 2022 the Islamic Consultative Assembly was informed about the adoption of the HIV and AIDS Recommendation, (No. 200), through official correspondence to the Parliament Research Center. The Committee observes, however, that informing the Research Center of the adoption of an instrument cannot replace the discussion of such instruments by a deliberative assembly. In this regard, the Committee recalls that, for the purposes of article 19 of the ILO Constitution, discussion in a deliberative body is an essential component of the constitutional obligation to submit, as indicated in the 2005 Memorandum concerning the obligation to submit conventions and recommendations to the competent authority (Part I(c) and Part II(c)). The obligation to submit is twofold: (1) to encourage ratification or application of instruments adopted by the Conference through submission to the competent authority empowered to consider ratification; and (2) to bring the instruments adopted by the Conference to the knowledge of the public through their submission to a parliamentary or deliberative body. The Committee therefore once again reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission to the Islamic Consultative Assembly of the HIV and AIDS Recommendation, (No. 200), adopted by the Conference at its 99th Session (2010). 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, 2023 (No. 207) and the Quality Apprenticeships Recommendation, 2023 (No. 208), adopted by the Conference at its 111th Session.
