Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the two reports provided by the Government in response to its 2010 observation for the periods ending September 2011 and September 2014, respectively. The Government reports the establishment and revitalization of a number of tripartite institutions, such as the National Council for Social Dialogue and the National Council on Labour and Social Laws. Moreover, the Government emphasizes the contribution of the National Task Force on International Labour Standards to the preparation of the reports submitted to the ILO. The Committee notes with interest that the capacity building of those involved in the procedures as well as the awareness of the need to promote the ratification of a number of Conventions led to the ratification being registered in 2012 of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102), the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129), the Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150), the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), and the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006). The Committee invites the Government to continue providing detailed information on the tripartite consultations held on the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention, including information on the frequency of such consultations, and to indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.
