The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received.

In its earlier direct requests, the Committee raised a number of points with regard to the definition of forced or compulsory labour under the terms of Article 1, paragraph 1, and Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Convention, in relation to the possibility for civil servants and career servicemen to resign from their employment and the compulsion to work in case of vagrancy. The Committee notes the new Labour Code and intends to examine these matters in its next comment after considering its effect on the above points.

The Committee 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 previously.
