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

Bahamas

Submission. The Committee notes with regret that the Government has once again not replied to its 2023 comments. The Committee recalls that, in those comments, it noted the information provided by the Government indicating that a draft report was prepared with technical assistance from the ILO Caribbean Office containing 24 instruments pending submission adopted by the Conference at 15 sessions held between 1997 and 2017. The Committee noted, however, that the report lacked information regarding the submission of the Violence and Harassment Recommendation, 2019 (No. 206). In this regard, the Committee recalled that the Recommendation is associated with Convention No. 190 and also needs to be submitted to the competent authority in the event of ratifying the said Convention. The Committee further noted the Government’s indication that the report would be sent to Cabinet for approval prior to submission to the Parliament. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures to complete the submission process without delay. It once more requests the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 28 instruments adopted by the Conference at 16 sessions held between 1997 and 2023 (85th, 86th, 88th, 89th, 90th, 92nd, 95th, 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th, 108th and 111th Sessions).
