Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1997, publiée 86ème session CIT (1998)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes, in particular, that the validity of the Community Service Act was extended until the end of 1998. The Government indicates that the Penal System Committee has proposed that community service be made an integral feature of the regular penal system, and that its proposals have been circulated for comment and are now being studied within the Ministry of Justice. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide, in its future reports, information on any developments in this field and, if applicable, on any amendments of the above-mentioned Act, as well as on any further extension of its validity.
