In addition, the Government does not provide information on the rest of the instruments pending submission. While acknowledging the efforts undertaken by the Government to comply with its constitutional obligation of submission, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the date in which the Secretary General submitted to the National Assemblythe abovementioned 14 instruments pending submission, adopted by the Conference between 1993 and 2023. It also once again reiterates its request that the Government complete the submission procedure in relation to the 54 other pending Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols, adopted by the Conference between 1970 to 2014, which have not yet been submitted to the National Assembly, and to provide information in this regard.

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