Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Bangladesh (Ratification: 1979)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report received in August 2009 in reply to its 2007 observation requesting substantive information on the consultations held on matters related to international labour standards. The Committee notes that the replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference were prepared on the basis of tripartite consultations (Article 5(1)(a) of the Convention). The Government indicates that proposals to be made to Parliament were thoroughly considered in the Tripartite Consultative Committee (Article 5(1)(b)). The Committee notes that the Government is actively considering the ratification of the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138), and others on the basis of the socio-economic conditions (Article 5(1)(c)). The Government also indicates that no questions arose with regard to reports to be made on ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)). The Committee once again requests the Government to provide a report containing more concrete information on the effective consultations held by the Tripartite Consultative Committee on international labour standards. In this respect, the Committee hopes that the next report will also include information on reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations covered by the Convention.
