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

Comoros

Failure to submit. The Committee notes with interest the ratification of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006) on 18 February 2024. However, it notes with deep concern that for more than ten years the Government has provided no information regarding its constitutional obligation on submission. In this context, the Committee recalls once more that this obligation is of the highest importance and is a fundamental element of the standards system of the ILO. The Committee therefore once more expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in June 2016, June 2017, June 2018, June 2019, June 2021, June 2022 and June 2023, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority. It therefore once again firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to the Assembly of the Union of Comoros of the 44 instruments adopted by the Conference at the 22 sessions held between 1992 and 2019. In addition, it 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 recalls that the Government may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in achieving compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the ILO Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.
