Observation sur la soumission aux autorités compétentes (CEACR) - adoptée 2024, publiée 113ème session CIT (2025)

Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée

Submission. The Committee notes with interest the ratification of the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190) on 27 September 2023. The Committee notes however with deep concern that the Government has provided no response 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. 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 and June 2024, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit adopted Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority. The Committee firmly urges the Government to submit to the National Parliament the 23 instruments adopted by the Conference at the 15 sessions held between 2000 and 2019. It also requests the Government to provide information on the submission of 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.

The Committee once again 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.
