comments:

ILO planning and implementing structures could be the targeted users of the above approach, while the tripartite constituents would be its ultimate beneficiaries.

challenges:

This approach should not be taken for granted. For example, in 2005, the Georgian Parliament ratified the Council of Europe’s European Social Charter. Notwithstanding that, in 2010, the Council of Europe’s Committee of Social Rights, reporting on the compliance of Georgia with the articles of the Social Charter, found several systematic violations of the rights to organize and bargain collectively and of the right to just conditions of work and fair remuneration. Thus, the challenge of eventual non-compliance should be regularly addressed in close co-operation between the ILO and EU and their respective constituents.

success:

The “Human Rights Action Plan 2014 - 2015” of the Georgian Government is an impressive Programme with high level commitments on a number of significant areas of Equal opportunities, the Labour Code, implementation of ILO Conventions and EU employment law. Most importantly, it includes the reference to the comments made by the ILO Supervisory bodies among its indicators. ILO should be fully involved in the development of similar initiatives as widely as appropriate.

context:

Processes of “rapprochement” which take place between the EU and a number of countries in the sub-region are related to an impressive time-bound set of conditionalities, including Human rights and Industrial relations. These conditionalities are closely linked to a wide range of obligations under ILO Conventions, to begin with its fundamental instruments.

Process of integration of countries of the sub-region with EU as a means of implementing ILO policy
Geopolitical and economic attractiveness of cooperation/affiliation with EU institutions becomes a highly important and efficient factor of promoting ILO principles, instruments and technical advice in the countries of the sub-region receiving its assistance.
The “hard law” of the EU conditionalities usefully complements the “soft law” of the ILO voluntary obligations. Thus, a deeper and more extensive cooperation with EU governments and social partners (both national and regional) and their pro-active involvement in ILO interventions in the countries concerned becomes a new and effective delivery channel.

administrative_issues:

The correlation of these factors related to the ILO and EU interventions in the countries concerned should be more actively used by the ILO staff when programming the use or resources at the design, implementation and monitoring stages.
