Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Kirghizistan (Ratification: 2007)

Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government informs that a General Agreement was concluded between the Government, the Kyrgyzstan Federation of Trade Unions and the national employers’ associations for 2022–24 in accordance with the Law on Social Partnership in the Field of Labour Relations in the Kyrgyz Republic and Order No. 233-r of the Government. This General Agreement represents a key document that defines the main objectives and strategic directions of development aimed at improving socio-economic conditions and implementing coordinated measures on key socio-labour and economic-related relations. Another aspect of the General Agreement is the participation of trade unions and employers in the development and review of regulatory acts. The Government also refers to a meeting of the National Tripartite Commission on the regulation of socio-labour relations, held on 8 July 2024, which discussed information regarding the implementation of the General Agreement. In this context, the Committee notes the information that clause 9 of the General Agreement provides for an analysis of the socio-economic situation in the country to assess the readiness for the ratification of several ILO Conventions, including the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183). The Committee also observes that on 3 June 2024, the Republic of Kyrgyzstan ratified the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190). The Committee notes, however, that the report once again does not provide the detailed information requested on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations on each of the matters concerning international labour standards covered under Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Committee, therefore, once again reiterates its request to the Government to provide detailed, concrete and updated information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held on all matters relating to international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention, relating to: questionnaires on Conference agenda items (Article 5(1)(a)); the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (Article 5(1)(c)); and reports to be presented on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)). The Committee also requests the Government to provide updated information on the outcome of the tripartite consultations held with regard to the possible ratification of Convention No. 183.

Article 4(2). Training. The Government informs that the Labour Legislation Supervision and Inspection Service of the Ministry of Labour, Social Protection and Migration conducts training on occupational safety for employers and employees. In addition, specialists are frequently engaged in explaining occupational safety norms and safety techniques to students, teachers, employees and employers of individual organizations and local and regional authorities. Furthermore, the Government states that with the support of international organizations, training was provided for employees of state bodies and staff of employers’ associations on the application of the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190). The Committee nevertheless notes that the activities referenced by the Government do not give effect to the provision of Article 4 (2) of the Convention, which calls for appropriate arrangements to be made “for the financing of any necessary training of participants” in the consultation procedures. As the Committee noted in paragraph 125 of its 2000 General Survey on Tripartite Consultation, the intent of this provision is “to make available appropriate training to enable participants in the procedures to perform their functions effectively” (Para. 3(3) of Recommendation No. 152). Noting that the Government does not provide updated information on the specific arrangements made or envisaged for the financing of training requested by participants in the consultative procedures provided for under the Convention, the Committee once again reiterates its request in this regard.

Article 5(1)(b). Submission to the national competent authority. The Committee notes that the Government does not provide information in response to its previous comments. The Committee, therefore, reiterates its request to the Government to provide detailed updated information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held with regard to the submission to the competent national authority of outstanding international labour instruments.

Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in response to the observations from the Kyrgyzstan Federation of Trade Unions (FPK), received in 2020.
