Provisions

• Employers and workers in non-metropolitan territories are both to be guaranteed the right to associate.

Not applicable.

How New Zealand implements it

• At the time of ratification, this Convention was applied to the Cook Islands and Niue. However, the Cook Islands attained full self-governing constitutional status in 1965 and Niue in 1974.
• As the Cook Islands and Niue are no longer considered non-metropolitan territories, it would not be appropriate for the Government to report on their compliance with this Convention. Accordingly the Government refers ILO report requests to the appropriate labour institutions in the Cook Islands and Niue.

The Convention is not applicable to Tokelau.
