Preamble
The
General Conference of the International Labour Organisation,
Having
been convened at Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour
Office, and having met in its Forty-fifth Session on 7 June 1961, and
Having
decided upon the adoption of certain proposals with regard to the partial
revision of the Conventions adopted by the General Conference of the
International Labour Organisation at its first thirty-two sessions for the
purpose of standardising the provisions regarding the preparation of reports by
the Governing Body of the International Labour Office on the working of
Conventions, and
Considering
that these proposals must take the form of an international Convention,
adopts
this twenty-sixth day of June of the year one thousand nine hundred and
sixty-one the following Convention, which may be cited as the Final Articles
Revision Convention, 1961:
Article
1
In
the texts of the Conventions adopted by the International Labour Conference in
the course of its first thirty-two sessions, the Final Article providing for
the presentation by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office to
the General Conference of a report on the working of the Convention shall be
omitted and the following article shall be substituted for it:
"At
such times as it may consider necessary the Governing Body of the International
Labour Office shall present to the General Conference a report on the working
of this Convention and shall examine the desirability of placing on the agenda
of the Conference the question of its revision in whole or in part."
Article
2
Any
Member of the Organisation which, after the date of the coming into force of
this Convention, communicates to the Director-General of the International
Labour Office its formal ratification of any Convention adopted by the Conference
in the course of its first thirty-two sessions shall be deemed to have ratified
that Convention as modified by this Convention.
Article
3
Two
copies of this Convention shall be authenticated by the signature of the
President of the Conference and of the Director-General of the International
Labour Office. Of these copies one shall be deposited in the archives of the
International Labour Office and the other shall be communicated to the
Secretary-General of the United Nations for registration in accordance with
Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations. The Director-General shall
communicate a certified copy of this Convention to each of the Members of the
International Labour Organisation.

On the coming into force of this Convention and on the subsequent receipt of
further ratifications of the Convention, the Director-General of the
International Labour Office shall so notify all the Members of the
International Labour Organisation and the Secretary-General of the United

4. Each Member of the Organisation which ratifies this
Convention thereby recognises that the obligation of the Governing Body under
Conventions adopted by the Conference at its first thirty-two sessions to present
to the Conference at the intervals prescribed thereby a report on the working
of each Convention and to examine at such intervals the desirability of placing
on the agenda of the Conference the question of the revision of the Convention

Convention by the provisions of the modified article set forth in Article 1 of
this Convention.
Article

Notwithstanding
anything contained in any of the Conventions adopted by the Conference in the
course of its first thirty-two sessions the ratification of this Convention by
a Member shall not ipso jure involve the denunciation of any such Convention,
nor shall the entry into force of this Convention close any such Convention to
further ratification.
Article

1.
Should the Conference adopt a new Convention revising this Convention in whole
or in part, then, unless the new Convention otherwise provides--
- (a) the ratification by a
Member of the new revising Convention shall ipso jure involve the
denunciation of this Convention if and when the new revising Convention
shall have come into force;
- (b) as from the date when the
new revising Convention comes into force, this Convention shall cease to
be open to ratification by the Members.

content for those Members which have ratified it but have not ratified the
revising Convention.
