Observation on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2025, published 114th ILC session (2026)

Equatorial Guinea

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes that the Government does not provide information in reply to its previous comment. The Committee 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 therefore once again expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in June 2016, June 2017, June 2018, June 2019, June 2021, June 2022, June 2023, June 2024 and June 2025, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority, the Parliament. Accordingly, the Committee once again firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 40 instruments adopted by the Conference between 1993 and 2023.

The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance to meet its constitutional obligation of submission.
