Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with interest the ratification of the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), on 5 June 2025. Moreover, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government to the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards in June 2025, indicating that the Department of Labour will continue to consult with the ILO Caribbean Office and take steps to submit the pending instruments as soon as possible. The Committee trusts that, with the technical assistance of the Office, the Government will be in a position to achieve compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the Constitution concerning the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conferenceto the competent authorities and requests the Government to keep it informed of any developments in this respect.

The Committee 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, June 2024 and June 2025 that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority.
