It is accompanied by supplementary ILO Recommendation No. 206, which is intended to support the implementation of ILO Convention 190 and provides guidance for effective implementation of the new standards. The ILO Convention No. 190 is now open to ratification and it will only enter into force 12 months after two member States have ratified it. In the current context of global outcry against violence and harassment in the world of work and demands for accountability and reform, accepting the binding effects of this legal instrument is urgently needed, as it provides States, employers, and workers a clear framework for taking action in accordance with human rights standards. Adoption of the ILO Convention No. 190 will clearly demonstrate our country’s full commitment to eliminate violence and harassment in the world of work, including gender-based violence against women. Particular acknowledgement is given to the critical role of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development, the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in initiating the process for ratification at the national level, and for the future implementation of this instrument once it is ratified. I would like to express my full support in the process of bringing a resolution of ratification of the ILO Convention No. 190 to the attention of the Parliament to ensure it is ratified so that it may be implemented nationally.
