Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Bénin (Ratification: 2001)

Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In reply to the direct request of 2009, the Government indicates in a report received in September 2011 that tripartite consultations have taken place once a year with regard to ILO questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and comments from the Committee of Experts. The Government indicates in its report that the National Assembly has already authorized the ratification of the Collective Bargaining Convention, 1981 (No. 154), and the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183). The Committee notes with interest that the ratification of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006), was registered in June 2011. The Committee hopes that the registration of Conventions Nos 154 and 183 will be completed in the near future and that the Government and the social partners will be able to contemplate ratifying other important Conventions (Article 5(1)(c) of the Convention). It invites the Government to continue to provide information on the consultations held during the next reporting period on the matters relating to international labour standards referred to in Article 5(1) of the Convention.
