A Recommendation on workplace safety is adopted at the International Labour Conference. Kaveri Auto Ltd asks the company secretary whether India must ratify it and whether it creates a treaty obligation. Which is correct?

A Recommendation is not open to ratification and creates no binding treaty obligation. It gives non-binding guidance on policy, law and practice, often supplementing a Convention. The member State must still submit it to its competent authority, which in India is Parliament.

  1. AIt must be ratified within one year, failing which India is penalised
  2. BIt is open for ratification like a Convention and binds upon registration
  3. CIt is not open to ratification and gives non-binding guidance, though the member State must bring it before the competent authorityCorrect
  4. DIt is binding on India automatically once adopted

Explanation

Recommendations are not subject to ratification and carry no treaty obligation; they offer guidance on policy and practice, often supplementing a Convention. Members must still submit them to the competent national authority. The ratification options therefore fail.
