Dear Minister,
In accordance with article 19, paragraph 4, of the Constitution of the International Labour
Organization (ILO), I am communicating herewith the links to the certified copies of the new
instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 113th Session (Geneva,

According to the procedures foreseen in article 19, paragraphs 5 and 6, of the ILO Constitution,

I should be grateful if you could communicate to the Office, pursuant to the provisions of

Recommendations any information provided by your Government concerning these questions.
I likewise draw your attention to the provisions of article 23, paragraph 2, of the Constitution,
according to which each Member State must communicate to the representative organizations
of employers and workers a copy of the information concerning the submission to the
competent authorities, which has been forwarded to the Office.

The Office remains at your disposal for any further information you may require regarding the
procedure to be followed or the scope of these new instruments. I would like to thank your
