The event is scheduled to take place on 14 December 2022, from 12.00 noon to 2.00 p.m. (CET), with interpretation services in English, French and Spanish. The aim of this first global webinar is to raise constituents awareness of the importance of providing inputs for the General Survey on labour administration, which Member States are expected to submit by 28 February 2023 under article 19 of the ILO Constitution. The webinar should also be an opportunity for constituents prepare for the consultations and discussions necessary to prepare their reports and comments. During this event, the Office will present the context and procedure of the General Surveys, the report form approved by the Governing Body, share good practices in reporting and preparing comments, and provide an overview of the relevant instruments (Convention No. 150 and its accompanying Recommendation No. 158). Government representatives wishing to participate in this global webinar may do so by registering . Questions regarding this event may be addressed directly to Ms Maura Miraglio (). The International Labour Office avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Governments of Member States of the ILO the assurances of its highest consideration.

Zoom FREE 2 BACKGROUND International labour standards (ILS) are universal instruments adopted by the international community and reflecting common values and principles on work-related issues. While ILO member States can choose whether or not to ratify any Conventions, the ILO considers it important to keep track of developments in all countries, whether or not they have ratified them. Under article 19 of the ILO Constitution, Members shall report to the Director-General of the International Labour Office, at appropriate intervals as requested by the Governing Body on the position of their law and practice in regard to the matters dealt with in unratified Conventions and in Recommendations. On this basis, the ILO Governing Body selects each year the Conventions and Recommendations on which member States are requested to supply reports. These reports, as well as those submitted under articles 22 and 35 of the ILO Constitution by the States parties to the Conventions concerned and the comments received by employers’ and workers’ organizations, allow the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR) to establish General Surveys on the effect given, in law and in practice, to the instruments considered. The subjects of General Surveys are aligned with those of the annual recurrent discussions in the International Labour Conference under the follow-up to the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization, 2008. General Surveys are published as a separate volume of the CEACR annual report (Report III (Part B)), that is usually adopted in December and submitted to the International Labour Conference the following June, where it is examined by the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards (CAS). General Surveys and the results of their examination by the CAS are helpful in many respects, including when drawing up the Organization’s programme of work, particularly in relation to the adoption of any new or revised standards, in assessing the impact and continuing usefulness of the instruments to be reviewed and in providing governments and the social partners with the opportunity to review their policies and implement other measures in areas of major interest, as well as deciding on new ratifications, where appropriate. 1 Article 19 reports on unratified Conventions and Recommendations are essential inputs in the assessment of the implementation in law and practice of ILO instruments by the CEACR. However, many national administrations struggle to fulfill this Constitutional reporting obligation. 2 The International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO), in collaboration with the International Labour Standards Department (NORMES) and the field Offices, seeks to assist ILO constituents in preparing reports and comments for General Surveys that are informative and that are transmitted on time. It therefore offers a global webinar linked to the General Survey on labour administration to be prepared by the CEACR in 2023 and to be discussed by the CAS in 2024. 3  2024 GENERAL SURVEY ON LABOUR ADMINISTRATION The General Survey will provide a comprehensive overview of the organization and structure of labour administration systems in member States. Moreover, it will shed light on the consultation with and participation by social partners at the national level in relation to the organization and functioning of the labour administration system. The General Survey will also outline the main functions performed by the systems of labour administration in member States. Further, it will be an opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of the provisions both in law and in practice of the instruments; the challenges and opportunities in their application, and will encourage the sharing of experiences and good practices among member States. 4 1 Rules of the Game: An introduction to the standards-related work of the International Labour Organization (Centenary edition 2019): https://www.ilo.org/global/standards/information-resources-and-publications/publications/WCMS_672549/lang--en/index.htm; Handbook of procedures relating to international labour Conventions and Recommendations (Centenary Edition 2019): https://www.ilo.org/global/standards/information-resources- and-publications/publications/WCMS_697949/lang--en/index.htm. 2 E.g., as noted by the CEACR last year, only 115 Member States have provided reports on the position of national law and practice in relation to matters addressed in the four instruments related to decent work for care economy workers in a changing economy: 25 reports from Africa, 23 from the Americas, 6 from the Arab States, 21 from Asia and the Pacific and 40 from Europe and Central Asia (Securing decent work for nursing personnel and domestic workers, key actors in the care economy, Report III(B), 2022, para. 15: https://www.ilo.org/ilc/ILCSessions/110/reports/reports-to-the-conference/WCMS_836653/lang- -en/index.htm). Furthermore, as noted by the CAS, over the past five years none of the reports on unratified Conventions and Recommendations have been supplied by 17 countries (Report of the Committee on the Application of Standards, Part One, 2022, paras 211-212: https://www.ilo.org/global/standards/applying-and-promoting-international-labour-standards/conference-committee-on-the-application-of- standards/WCMS_857921/lang--en/index.htm). 3 At its 343rd Session in November 2021, the Governing Body decided that the General Survey to be prepared by the CEACR in 2023, and to be discussed by the CAS in 2024 will cover two instruments: the Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150), and the Labour Administration Recommendation, 1978 (No. 158) (GB.343/LILS/2/Decision: https://www.ilo.org/gb/GBSessions/GB343/lils/WCMS_826668/lang--en/index.htm). 4 Report form: https://www.ilo.org/global/standards/WCMS_850012/lang--en/index.htm 3 WHO IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE? ● Government officials responsible for matters relating to ILS, including the fulfilment of the reporting obligations laid down by the ILO Constitution. ● Representatives of employers’ and workers’ organizations responsible for ILO matters, in particular members of national tripartite committees. ● ILO officials, such as social dialogue, employer’ and workers’ specialists, may also benefit from the webinar. WHY SHOULD I JOIN? To be better equipped to prepare the report under article 19 of the ILO Constitution on unratified Conventions and Recommendations for the General Survey on labour administration, to prepare related comments, and to participate in related consultations and discussions. WHAT WILL I GAIN? ● Understanding of the procedures for reporting and providing comments for a General Survey and its examination. ● Understanding of the content of ILS on labour administration and of the report form approved by the Governing Body for supplying information on uniform lines for the General Survey. ● Capacity to participate effectively in the procedures and consultations for the General Survey on labour administration. WHAT ARE THE LANGUAGES OF THE WEBINAR? The webinar will be offered in English, French and Spanish, with simultaneous interpretation. Each language, however, will be confirmed only if a minimum number of participants will be reached. HOW IS THE WEBINAR STRUCTURED AND ORGANIZED? The webinar will have an interregional coverage and will cover the following: 1. The context and the procedure: What is a General Survey? What are its objectives? How is the subject identified? How is a General Survey prepared (roles, responsibilities, timeline and deadlines)? What happens if member States do not comply with the related reporting obligations? 2. Sharing best practices: What has been the experience of governments in preparing reports for General Surveys, gathering information from relevant Ministries and agencies? What has been the approach and experience of employers’ and workers’ organizations in contributing to the procedure by providing comments? 3. The instruments: What is the content of Convention No. 150 and Recommendation No. 158 in a nutshell? 4. The report form approved by the Governing Body: How is the report form for the General Survey on labour administration structured? What is its content, question by question and with concrete examples? HOW TO REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR?
