Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes that in reply to its request in the previous comments to further expand the tripartite consultations required by the Convention, the Government indicates in its report that in October 2014, the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare published in the press and on its website an invitation to legally constituted employers’ and workers’ organizations and the most representative industrial, agricultural, commercial and financial entities to nominate candidates for election to the Tripartite Committee on International Labour Affairs for the period 2014–16. According to the Government, in 2013 the Tripartite Committee held 34 meetings and in 2014 a total of 21 meetings. Between January and August 2015 the Tripartite Committee held eight meetings. Among other activities relating to the International Labour Organization, the Tripartite Committee had the opportunity in 2013 to examine draft amendments to the Labour Code and other relevant laws that the ILO’s supervisory bodies had requested. In 2014, the Tripartite Committee examined the proposal to ratify the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), and the labour-related aspects of the trade agreements with the United States. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the tripartite consultations held in the Tripartite Committee on International Labour Affairs and on other initiatives taken to hold the consultations on international labour standards required by the Convention.
