Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105) - Liberia (RATIFICATION: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Supply of legislation. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that decrees of the People’s Redemption Council adopted before its dissolution in July 1984, to which the Committee referred in its earlier comments and which contained provisions prohibiting certain political parties, have been repealed. The Committee requests the Government to communicate copies of the repealing texts, as well as copies of the legislation in force governing political parties.

In its earlier comments, the Committee referred to Decree No. 12 of 30 June 1980 prohibiting strikes. It has noted the Government’s indication in its report on the application of Convention No. 87, likewise ratified by Liberia, that the abovementioned Decree had been repealed. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the repealing text with its next report.
