In accordance with the established practice, between the end of February and the beginning of March governments receive the requests for reports on ratified Conventions due in the current year with the CEACR comments addressed to them and an explanatory note. A Handbook of procedures relating to international labour Conventions and Recommendations describing the procedures operating within the ILO in relation to the adoption and implementation of ILS is available in the ILO website. Its Appendix II contains the regular reporting cycle up to 2025. The NORMLEX database lays out the regular reporting schedule for each member State over a period of six years (i.e. the regular interval for reports on the application of technical Conventions).
The timeline below shows the Office practices and the government practices on reporting on ratified Conventions throughout a single year.
The report of the CEACR is published and made available on the ILO website.
