Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2005, publiée 95ème session CIT (2006)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2004 direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the Government’s brief report, which was received in November 2003, indicating that the provisions of Convention No. 144 are effectively applied in Chad, that the Government gives priority to the promotion of social dialogue and that the consultative bodies envisaged by the Labour Code have been established. The Government also indicates that the Social Dialogue Steering Committee was created by Ministerial Order on 3 March 2003 and that the High Committee for Labour and Social Security was established in April 2003. Noting once again that the general nature of the information received does not allow it to assess in full the effect given to the provisions of the Convention, the Committee requests the Government to provide a report containing precise information in reply to the questions raised in the report form, particularly on the following points.

2. Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to describe the procedures which ensure effective consultations between representatives of the Government, of employers and of workers with respect to all the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

3. Article 3, paragraph 1. Please describe the manner in which the representatives of employers and workers are chosen for the purposes of the procedures covered by the Convention.

4. Article 4, paragraph 2. Please provide information on any arrangements made or envisaged for the financing of the training of participants in the consultative procedures covered by the Convention.

5. Article 5. The Committee recalls that the tripartite consultations covered by the Convention are essentially intended to promote the implementation of international labour standards and concern in particular the matters set forth and enumerated in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide full and detailed information on the tripartite consultations held on the subject of:

(a)  government replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and government comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference;

(b)  the proposals to be made to the National Assembly in connection with the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference pursuant to article 19 of the Constitution of the Organization: the Government is asked to refer to the observation that has been made for several years on the failure to submit the instruments adopted at the eight sessions held between 1993 and 2003;

(c)  the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and of Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given, to consider what measures might be taken to promote their implementation and ratification as appropriate;

(d)  questions arising out of reports to be made to the International Labour Office under article 22 of the Constitution of the Organization;

(e)  proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions.

6. Please provide information on the frequency of such consultations and on any recommendations resulting from these consultations.

7. Article 6. Please indicate whether an annual report on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention is issued or envisaged and, if not, give particulars of the consultations that have taken place with the representative organizations on this question.
