Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ratification: 2001)

The Committee notes that the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention has not been received. It notes the fact that the World Confederation of Labour (WCL) and the Trade Union Confederation of the Congo have made observations on the application of the Convention, which were forwarded to the Government in September and October 2003. The Committee recalls the importance that it attaches to first reports so that it can evaluate for the first time the application of ratified Conventions. The preparation of a detailed report containing replies to all the questions raised in the report form, and in the observations made by the abovementioned workers’ organizations, will undoubtedly provide an opportunity for the Government and social partners to carry out an evaluation of tripartite consultations on international labour standards and the situation with regard to social dialogue in the country.
