Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1996, publiée 85ème session CIT (1997)

With reference to the comments it has been making for many years, the Committee notes with satisfaction Act No. 95-9 of 23 January 1995 repealing Legislative Decree No. 62-17 of 15 August 1962, under which certain persons could be assigned by administrative decision to a state worksite. Act No. 95-9 also repeals the provisions of Act No. 78-22 of 8 March 1975 respecting civilian service, under which any Tunisian of 18 to 30 years of age unable to show that he was in employment or registered in a school or vocational training establishment could be assigned, for one year or more, to economic and social, or rural or urban development projects and was liable to re-educational labour in case he refused or deserted.
