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

Guinée équatoriale

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government to the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards in June 2024, where it indicated generally that 22 Conventions, 2 Protocols and 18 Recommendations were submitted in August 2019 to the Government. The Committee observes, however, that the Government does not provide information on the submission of the pending instruments to the Parliament. In this context, the Committee 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 Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the competent authority, the Parliament. Accordingly, the Committee once again firmly urges the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 37 instruments adopted by the Conference between 1993 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 reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance to meet its constitutional obligation of submission.
