Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Burkina Faso (Ratification: 2001)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2010 direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee recalls its observation of 2009 concerning submission to the National Assembly and the ratification of Conventions. It recalls that the ratification of Conventions Nos 122, 142 and 184 had been registered on 28 October 2009. In a report received in March 2010, the Government indicates that it sent correspondence to the social partners on the Conventions that it planned to ratify. It also indicates that it called for the comments from the social partners on the items on the agenda of the 99th Session of the Conference. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to report progress in the implementation of procedures for effective tripartite consultations on international labour standards and specify the nature of any response from representatives of workers and employers to the correspondence transmitted by the Government. It invites the Government to provide information regularly on all the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention.

Article 4. Administrative support and financing of training. The Government indicates that the budgetary constraints inherent in the project for the establishment of the Tripartite Committee on International Labour Standards are being overcome. The Committee once again invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the progress achieved in relation to administrative support for the procedures required by the Convention, as well as the arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training for the participants in consultative procedures.
