Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Belarus (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee has noted the Government's latest report on application of the Convention. In particular, it has noted the information on the follow-up to the consultations in the National Council for Labour and Social Issues on the ratification of the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155). The Committee notes, however, that the Government merely indicates that consultations are held regularly on the various matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention through written communications and in the National Council for Labour. The Committee wishes to draw the Government's attention to the need to supply fuller and more detailed information on the consultations held and to specify the nature of all ensuing reports or recommendations in order to allow the Committee to better assess how the Convention is applied in practice. In this context, the Committee notes that minutes are produced for every meeting of the National Council for Labour. The Government is invited to attach them to its report on the application of the Convention whenever there is a reference to matters relating to ILO activities in regard to the Convention.

Furthermore, the Government is asked once again to specify whether, in conformity with the requirements of Article 4, paragraph 2, arrangements have been made or are envisaged for the financing of any necessary training of participants in the consultative procedures.
