NOTES
ILO’s website at www.ilo.org. Click on the ‘Search’
option at the top of the homepage. This brings you to
the ‘Search the ILO public website’ page. At the bottom of this page click on the ‘ILO databases’ option.
Then click on the second database option which is
‘ILOLEX’. Once on the ILOLEX page, click on the
second option which displays all documents by ‘specific country’. Then select the country you want and
it will list all the documents on the database for that
country. The first option is for ratification – click on
this and it will list all ILO Conventions ratified by
that country.
75 To access the Committee of Experts report from the
ILO’s website, from the homepage, click on ‘Sitemap,
and under the section ‘About the ILO’, click on
‘International Labour Conference’. From here click
on ‘Reports and documents submitted to the Conference’. These reports include the Committee of
Experts’ report. You can also find old Conference
reports in this manner.
76 The index on comments from social partners is listed
as an appendix at the end of the Committee of
Experts’ report at Part Two: III.
77 This is also available on the ILO website. From the
homepage click on ‘sitemap’ and under the section
‘About the ILO’ click on ‘International Labour Conference’. From here you should click on the most
recent year and then call up ‘Reports of Conference
Committees and discussion in Plenary’. The reports
from the Applications Committee are listed here. This
information can also be accessed from the ILOLEX
database, but may not be available on the database
immediately after the International Labour Conference.
78 The quickest way to collect this information is by running a query on the ILOLEX database. Follow the
steps outlined in footnote 74 until you have chosen
the search based on ‘specific country’ and typed in
the country you are interested in. This will give you
all the information on that country including all the
Conventions it has ratified, Observations from the
Committee of Experts, individual Observations made
by the Applications Committee, Freedom of Association cases and any Article 24 (representations) and
Article 26 (complaints) procedures.
