Article 7(1) and (3) of the Convention. Light work and determination of light work activities. Following its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the Law of the Child (Child Labour) Regulations includes provisions on what can constitute light work and what shall be excluded. The Committee further notes that these Regulations provide that a child shall not be employed during school hours, for more than two hours on a school day, for more than 16 hours a week, for work at night or for more than 36 hours per week during school holidays, and lay down the provisions for rest and break periods during work for children of 14 years of age and prohibit overtime work.

Article 8. Artistic performances. The Committee previously noted that the National Child Development Policy recognizes the right of children to participate in artistic performances and sports activities. The Committee also noted that the Ministry of Education and Culture was in the process of formulating regulations with respect to the participation of children in activities such as artistic performances, which also specify the categories of permissible artistic work, conditions and penalties for breaches. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the exact provisions which provide for permits to be granted to children participating in cultural artistic performances and which limit the number of hours during which, and prescribe the conditions under which, such work may be permitted, in accordance with Article 8 of the Convention.
