ARTICLE 45bis
Procedure to be followed in the event of the abrogation (Endnote 1) or
withdrawal of Conventions and Recommendations
1. When an item to be placed on the agenda of the Conference concerns the
abrogation of a Convention in force or the withdrawal of a Convention that is
not in force or of a Recommendation, the Office shall place before the
Governing Body a report containing all relevant information which the Office
possesses on this subject.
2. When an item on abrogation or withdrawal is placed on the agenda of the
Conference, the Office shall communicate to the governments, so as to reach
them not less than 18 months before the opening of the session of the
Conference at which the item is to be discussed, a short report and
questionnaire requesting them to indicate within a period of 12 months their
position, along with the reasons therefor, on the subject of the said
abrogation or with drawal, along with the relevant information. This
questionnaire shall request governments to consult the most representative
organisations of employers and workers before finalizing their replies. On the
basis of the replies received, the Office shall draw up a report containing a
final proposal which shall be distributed to governments four months before
the session of the Conference.
3. The Conference may decide to examine this report and the proposal which it
contains directly in a plenary sitting or send it to the Selection Commit tee.
At the end of this examination in the plenary or in the light of the report of
the Selection Committee, as appropriate, the Conference shall decide by
consensus or, failing that, by a preliminary vote by a two-thirds majority to
submit the formal proposal for the abrogation or withdrawal to a final vote.
This record vote shall take place no earlier than the day following the
preliminary decision.
