Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2007, Publicación: 97ª reunión CIT (2008)

Article 2(1) and (2) of the Convention. Compulsory labour. The Committee noted in its previous direct request that forced labour was prohibited under section 4 of the Labour Code and that this provision reproduced the Convention’s definition of forced labour. It noted that the prohibition did not apply to work, services or assistance required in the case of robbery, pillage, flagrant offence, public disturbance or judicial execution. It requested the Government to indicate the conditions under which such work was carried out and the circumstances in which it was imposed so that it could assess the extent to which it was covered by the exceptions set out in the Convention. Having received no information on the matter, the Committee hopes that the Government will send the information requested in its next report.

Article 2(2)(a). National service. The Committee takes note of the provisions of Act No. 94-018 and of Act No. 2004-004 repealing Act No. 94‑033.
