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

North Macedonia

Failure to submit. The Committee once again notes with deepconcern that the Government has not replied to its previous comments. The Committee recalls once more 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 therefore once again expresses the firm hope, as did the Conference Committee in June 2018, June 2019, June 2021, June 2022 and June 2023, that the Government will provide information on the submission to the Assembly of the Republic (Sobranie) of 29 instruments (Conventions, Recommendations and Protocols) adopted by the Conference at 16 sessions held from 1996 to 2019.

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.

Tripartite consultation. The Committee notes with interest the ratification by North Macedonia of the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), and the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190) on 20 October 2023. It requests the Government to provide information on the tripartite consultations held prior to the ratification, as required by the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144).
