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

Bahamas

Submission. The Committee notes that the Government has not replied to its previous comments. The Committee recalls that in its previous comments it noted the information provided by the Government indicating that a draft report was prepared with technical assistance from the ILO Caribbean Office containing 24 instruments pending submission adopted by the Conference at 15 sessions held between 1997 and 2017. The Committee noted, however, that the report lacked information regarding the submission of the Violence and Harassment Recommendation, 2019 (No. 206). In this regard, the Committee recalled that the Recommendation is associated with Convention No. 190 and also needs to be submitted to the competent authority in the event of ratifying the said Convention. The Committee further noted the Government’s indication that the report would be sent to Cabinet for approval prior to submission to the Parliament. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures to complete the submission process without delay. It once more requests the Government to provide information on the submission to Parliament of the 25 instruments adopted by the Conference at 15 sessions held between 1997 and 2019 (85th, 86th, 88th, 89th, 90th, 92nd, 95th, 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions).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.
