Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Seychelles (Ratification: 2005)

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates in its report that the National Consultative Committee on Employment (NCCE) provides the necessary platform for tripartite consultations between representatives of the Government and employers’ and workers’ organizations. It adds that the NCCE recognises the relevance of promoting the implementation of international labour standards in accordance with the Convention. The Committee notes in this regard the detailed information provided by the Government on the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention. With regard to the submission of instruments pursuant to article 19 of the ILO Constitution, the Committee notes the discussions held within the NCCE in June 2014 on an information paper of the Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development exploring the possibility of submitting at most six instruments from 2014 to 2016 to the national competent authority in order to begin to clear the backlog concerning instruments pending submission. Moreover, the Committee notes the information provided concerning the reports to be made on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)). The Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development established a workplan which indicated the ratified Conventions that the Government had to report on by 1 September 2014. The stakeholders that needed to provide the applicable inputs were also specified in the workplan. The Government adds that the Ministry is duly considering the possibility of including the workplan of the reports on the ratified Conventions due in 2015 on the agenda of the NCEE. It also indicates that, as customary, the requests of reports are circulated to the stakeholders, including the social partners, for their inputs. The Ministry also circulates the final report to the social partners prior to the submission to the ILO. The Committee invites the Government to provide updated information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held on the other matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention, including consultations on the re examination of unratified governance Conventions (namely the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129).
