General Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Saint Lucia

The Committee notes with deep concern that, for the tenth year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. Eighteen reports are now due, including the first report on the application of the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155). Most of the reports due should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments, including on fundamental Conventions.

On the basis of the decision of the Committee concerning the treatment of urgent appeals, the Committee decided to examine, at this session, the application of Conventions Nos 87 and 108 for which the reports have not been received for three years or more, based on public information at its disposal.

Recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues this year by the ILO Decent Work Team for the Caribbean and the International Training Centre of the ILO, the Committee firmly hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments.
