Direct Request on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Kuwait

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes with regret that the Government has once again not provided the requested information on submission to the competent authority (the National Assembly). It recalls 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 expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, that the Government will comply with its obligation to submit Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols to the National Assembly (Majlis Al-Ummah). The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to indicate the date of submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference at its 92nd, 94th, 95th, 96th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd and 104th Sessions to the National Assembly (Majlis Al-Ummah). In addition, referring to its previous comments, the Committee reiterates its request that the Government specify the date of submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted at the 77th Session (Conventions Nos 170 and 171, Recommendations Nos 177 and 178, and the Protocol of 1990), 80th Session (Recommendation No. 181), 86th Session (Recommendation No. 189) and 89th Session (Convention No. 184 and Recommendation No. 192) of the Conference. The Committee also reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the steps taken to submit the Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience Recommendation, 2017 (No. 205), adopted at the 106th Session of the International Labour Conference to the National Assembly. The Committee further requests the Government to provide information on the submission of the Violence and Harassment Convention (No. 190) and Recommendation (No. 206), 2019, adopted by the Conference at its 108th Session (June 2019).
