Article 1(a) of the Convention. The Committee notes with satisfaction that, by virtue of decision No. 193 of 28 June 1985 of the Constitutional Court, section 273 of the Penal Code, according to which "any person who, without the authorisation of the Government, founds, establishes, organises or manages, on the territory of the State, associations, organisations or institutions of an international character, or divisions of these associations, shall be liable to imprisonment for up to six months" was invalidated. (Sentences of imprisonment, under sections 23(1) and 25(1) of the Penal Code, involve compulsory labour.)
