Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards)
Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) : ILO Convention No. 144 (1976) concerns effective consultation between the representatives of the government, of employers and of workers on international labour standards. The ratifying ILO Member State undertakes to operate procedures that ensure effective consultation between representatives of the three groups on: (1) government replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and their comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference; (2) proposals to be made to the competent authority or authorities in connection with the submission of Conventions and Recommendations pursuant to Article 19 of the Constitution of the ILO; (3) the re-examination at appropriate intervals of non-ratified Conventions and of Recommendations to promote their implementation and ratification as appropriate; (4) questions arising out of reports on ratified Conventions to be made under Article 22 of the Constitution of the ILO; (5) Proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions. The nature and form of such procedures shall be determined in accordance with national practice after consultation with the representative organizations of employers and workers, where these exist. These organizations shall freely choose their representatives for the purpose of these procedures. Employers and workers shall be represented on an equal footing on any competent bodies. Consultations shall take place at agreed intervals, but at least once a year. When appropriate, the competent authority shall issue an annual report on the working of the procedures.
