International Labour Conference (105th Session 30 May – 10 June 2016) WORKERS’ GROUP Membership of committees Each year the ILO holds an International Labour Conference in the month of June, as per the requirements of its Constitution. The Member States shall be represented by Government (2 delegates), Workers (1 delegate) and Employers (1 delegate). Furthermore, the Worker delegate can be accompanied by up to 2 advisers for each item on the agenda of the Conference and the Government should provide for travel and subsistence expenses. While the rule is that the most representative organization in the country should designate the delegate, workers’ organizations are free to determine the composition of their own delegation. In case of trade union pluralism in the country, unions can adopt – without governmental interference – any free rotation among themselves. The Workers’ Group – following the indications of the ILO Constitution (art 3.2) - has requested national delegations to ensure gender balance, having at least one woman in the delegation as per the target set by the United Nations of increasing the participation of women in decision and policy-making bodies (at least 50 per cent). Many workers’ delegations are below the threshold and every effort should be made to redress this situation. The Workers’ delegate and advisers have to be nominated in the credentials of member States, prior to participate in the work of the technical committees of the Conference, as regular members or as deputy members (deputy members can take part in a vote only to replace regular members who are absent at the time of voting). In case of standard setting discussions over two years (such as the case of the Revision of the Employment Recommendation No. 71), workers’ organizations should strive to maintain the same person covering the two sessions of the ILC. In order to facilitate the preparatory steps to establish the composition of the Committees’ Workers’ Groups, trade unions are kindly asked to send preliminary information to the Bureau for Workers’ Activities (ACTRAV), once tripartite consultations have taken place at national level. Once the Worker Delegate from the country has been nominated - he/she should fill up the enclosed form, in consultation with any other representative organizations and should submit it to ACTRAV, in order to expedite preparations. Please note that committee membership as indicated in the form will be effective only once: the Office has received official credentials from the government accrediting the person concerned as Workers’ delegate, adviser, or person designated in accordance with article 2(3)(i) of the Standing Orders of the Conference; and the registration request is endorsed by the Workers’ group and the initial committee composition approved by the Conference. Please return the registration form by 26 May 2016 to the Bureau for Workers’ Activities (ACTRAV) (actrav-conf@ilo.org, tel.: +4122 799 8327, fax: +4122 799 6570) Workers – Travailleurs - Trabajadores Country/pays/país: 105th SESSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOUR CONFERENCE (2016) 105e SESSION DE LA CONFERENCE INTERNATIONALE DU TRAVAIL (2016) 105.a REUNIÓN DE LA CONFERENCIA INTERNACIONAL DEL TRABAJO (2016) I submit the following nominations for the Committees to be set up Je soumets les propositions suivantes pour les commissions à constituer Presento las siguientes propuestas de nombramientos para la constitución de las comisiones siguientes Name and last name Prénom et nom de famille Nombre y apellidos Committee / Commission / Comisión1 Committee on the Application of Standards Commission de l’application des normes Comisión de Aplicación de Normas Decent work in global supply chains (General discussion) Travail décent dans les chaînes d’approvisionnement mondiales (Discussion générale) Trabajo decente en las cadenas mundiales de suministro (Discusión general) Titular / Titulaire Titular Deputy / Adjoint Adjunto C.
