Observación sobre sumisión a las autoridades competentes (CEACR) - Adopción: 2021, Publicación: 110ª reunión CIT (2022)

El Salvador

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with regret that the Government has yet again not responded to its previous comments. It 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. In this context, the Committee recalls the information provided by a Government representative before the Conference Committee at its 108th Session in June 2019, indicating that the country welcomed the technical cooperation received from the ILO for the preparation of the Protocol of Institutional Procedures for the submission of ILO instruments. The Government representative indicated that the Government would soon take the first steps for the submission of the relevant Conventions and Recommendations to the competent authority. The Committee once again expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in June 2016, June 2017, June 2018, June 2019 and June 2021, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent national authority. The Committee firmly urges the Government to submit to the Legislative Assembly the 61 instruments adopted at the 25 sessions of the Conference held between October 1976 and June 2019. Moreover, it once again reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission of the remaining outstanding instruments adopted by the Conference at its 63rd (Convention No. 148 and Recommendations Nos 156 and 157), 67th (Convention No. 154 and Recommendation No. 163), 69th (Recommendation No. 167) and 90th (Recommendations Nos 193 and 194) Sessions.

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 Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.
