Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2013, publiée 103ème session CIT (2014)

Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Koweït (Ratification: 2000)

Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2013 in reply to its 2012 observation. The Government indicates that the Tripartite Consultative Committee for Labour Affairs held its meetings with the participation of Government, employers and workers. The Committee notes that matters discussed at the meetings included human trafficking, the regulation of the employment of workers in the private sector and numerous subjects of common concern to the social partners. The Government adds that there are also meetings periodically held between the social partners before the beginning of any conference (whether it is Gulf, Arab, international) to discuss all matters scheduled on the agendas of such conferences. Recalling its previous observation, the Committee once again invites the Government to provide in its next report detailed information on the consultations held on each of the matters relating to international labour standards set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention, and also to indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.
