Kuwait

Failure to submit. The Committee notes that the Government has not responded to its previous comments. It recalls the information provided by the Government in August 2024, according to which the Minister of Commerce and Industry sent a letter on 2 August 2021 requesting the Minister of State for National Assembly Affairs to submit to the National Assembly (Majlis Al-Ummah) the instruments adopted by the Conference at its 77th, 80th, 86th, 89th, 92nd, 94th, 95th, 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st and 103rd Sessions. The Government indicated that it was not in a position to provide the actual date on which the instruments would be effectively submitted to the National Assembly, as this does not fall within its competencies. It added that it would inform the Committee of the date on which these instruments would be examined by the National Assembly as soon as this takes place. The Government further indicated that the instruments pending submission adopted at subsequent sessions of the Conference would be submitted to the Council of Ministers, since it is the competent authority until the amendments to the Constitution are finalized and a new National Assembly is elected. In light of the above, the Committee reiterates its request that the Government specify, as soon as it is in a position to do so, the date of submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted by the Conference: the Chemicals Convention (No. 170) and Recommendation (No. 177), 1990, the Night Work Convention, (No. 171) and Recommendation (No. 178), 1990, and the Protocol of 1990 to the Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 at its 77th Session; the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents Recommendation, 1993 (No. 181) adopted by the Conference at its 80th Session; the Job Creation in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Recommendation, 1998 (No. 189), adopted by the Conference at its 86th Session; and the Safety and Health in Agriculture Convention, (No. 184) and Recommendation (No. 192), 2001, adopted by the Conference at its 89th Session. It also reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission of the Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience Recommendation, 2017 (No. 205), adopted by the Conference at its 106th Session, the Violence and Harassment Convention (No. 190) and Recommendation (No. 206), 2019, adopted by the Conference at its 108th Session, as well as 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.
