DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

In its previous comments, the Committee noted that Act No. 35 of 8 January 1960 respecting subversive publications is in the process of being repealed and that the Government also proposed to repeal Ordinance No. 30/CSM of 26 November 1975 and Act No. 15 of 13 November 1959, which permit the punishment by imprisonment involving compulsory labour of any person participating in strike action.

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report, that these matters have recently been discussed in a number of meetings between the Ministries concerned and that it has been agreed that each department involved is to be responsible for amending or repealing the texts concerning forced labour falling within its competence.

The Committee expresses the hope that the Government will shortly be able to report that the provisions amending or repealing the texts have been adopted.
