Article 25 of the Convention. Penal sanctions for the exaction of forced or compulsory labour. The Committee previously noted that a number of persons had been convicted pursuant to section 173 of the Criminal Code on the exaction of work which has not been provided for in an employment contract, and sanctioned with fines.

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that, pursuant to section 173, criminal proceedings were initiated in relation to seven persons in 2008, 14 persons in 2009 and 11 persons in 2010. Recalling that Article 25 of the Convention provides that the exaction of forced or compulsory labour shall be punishable as a penal offence, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the acts committed which led to the opening of criminal proceedings under section 173 of the Criminal Code, and to provide copies of relevant court cases, with its next report. It also requests the Government to continue to provide up-to-date information on the application of section 173 in practice, including the number of convictions and the specific penalties applied.
