The Committee refers to its observation.

In its previous direct request, the Committee noted that sections 827 and 828 of the Administrative Code and sections 2, 3 and 4 of Act No. 27 of 1927 (supplementing the Administrative Code) empower the President, governors and local mayors, as well as employees in national jurisdictions, to impose sentences of detention. It requested the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that non-judicial authorities cannot impose sentences involving compulsory labour.

The Government has provided no information on this point in its report. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would confirm its understanding that, if the amendments proposed in Bill No. 22 are adopted, these provisions would no longer have the effect of allowing administrative imposition of sentences involving compulsory labour.
