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

Lebanon

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes the information sent by the Government, received on 25 August 2023. It observes, however, that the Government’s communication has not responded to its previous comments in which it urged the Government to indicate the date on which several instruments adopted by the Conference at its 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th and 106th Sessions (2010–17) have been submitted to the National Assembly (Majlis Al Nuwwab). Furthermore, with respect to 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), the Committee notes the Government’s indication that it will consult with the Legislation and Consultation Authority in preparation for starting legal proceedings. The Committee therefore again refers to its previous comments and urges the Government indicate the date on which the above instruments adopted by the Conference were submitted to the National Assembly (Majlis Al Nuwwab), and to provide information on the submission of the Violence and Harassment Convention (No. 190) and Recommendation (No. 206), 2019, to the National Assembly (Majlis Al Nuwwab).

The Committee once again recalls that the Government may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in achieving compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.
