Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2013, Publicación: 103ª reunión CIT (2014)

Convenio sobre la terminación de la relación de trabajo, 1982 (núm. 158) - Papua Nueva Guinea (Ratificación : 2000)

The Committee noted in its 2011 observation that the Industrial Relations Bill had received legal clearance from the Office of the State Solicitor and was in its passage through the National Executive Council and the Parliament for promulgation. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in October 2013 indicating that the Industrial Relations Bill has been withdrawn from the Central Agency Consultative Committee in 2013 due to the fact that legal committees had noted irregularities and inconsistencies in the provisions of the Bill. The Government indicates that, following legislative reviews, the final revised Industrial Relations Bill should be submitted in early March 2014 to the National Executive Council for its ratification before being tabled in Parliament to be enacted into law. The Committee once again invites the Government to ensure that the new legislation is in full compliance with the Convention and to provide a report to the ILO as soon as the legislation is enacted, so as to enable the Committee to examine its compliance with the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide a detailed report in the very near future.
