Observation Générale (CEACR) - adoptée 2025, publiée 114ème session CIT (2026)

Sainte-Lucie

The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the 12th year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. In addition, the first report on the application of the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), due since 2023 has not been received. The Committee also notes that 20 reports are now due, including on fundamental Conventions, most of which should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments.

The Committee launches an urgent appeal to the Government to send its first report on Convention No. 155 without delay and advises it that, even in the absence of this report, the Committee may fully review the application of this Convention at its next meeting on the basis of available information.

Recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues this year by the Decent Work Technical Support Team for the Caribbean Countries and the International Training Centre of the ILO, the Committee firmly hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments.
