Conference Committee on the Application of Standards: Extracts from the Record of Proceedings (ILC 2011)

The Conference Committee on the Application of Standards, a standing tripartite body of the International Labour Conference and an essential component of the ILO’s supervisory system, examines each year the report published by the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations. Following the technical and independent scrutiny of government reports carried out by the Committee of Experts, the Conference Committee provides the opportunity for the representatives of governments, employers and workers to examine jointly the manner in which States fulfil their obligations deriving from Conventions and Recommendations. The Officers of the Committee also prepare a list of observations contained in the report of the Committee of Experts on which it would appear desirable to invite governments to provide information to the Conference Committee, which examines over 20 individual cases every year.

The report of the Conference Committee is submitted for discussion by the Conference in plenary, and is then published in the Provisional Record. Since 2007, with a view to improving the visibility of its work and in response to the wishes expressed by ILO constituents, it has been decided to produce a separate publication in a more attractive format bringing together the usual three parts of the work of the Conference Committee. In 2008, in order to facilitate the reading of the discussion on individual cases appearing in the second part of the report, it was decided to add the observations of the Committee of Experts concerning these cases at the beginning of this part.

This publication is thus structured in the following way:

(i) the General Report of the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards;

(ii) the observations of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations concerning the individual cases selected by the Conference Committee;

(iii) the report of the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards on these individual cases;

(iv) the Report of the Conference Committee following the special sitting concerning the question of the observance by the Government of Myanmar of the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29); and

(v) the report of the Committee on the Application of Standards: Submission, discussion and approval.

It is to be hoped that this new format and this structure will translate into a wide dissemination of the work of this key body of the international labour standards supervisory system.
