Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Angola (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes the Government's indication in its report that the provisions of Orders Nos. 12/75 of 15 October 1976 and 44/83 of 21 May 1983, on which the Committee has been commenting for several years, have been tacitly repealed by the adoption of Act No. 23/92 of 16 September 1992 amending the Constitution.

The Committee draws the Government's attention to the fact that it would be advisable for the above-mentioned texts to be repealed expressly in order to bring the national legislation formally into line with the Convention and asks the Government to take the necessary measures to that end.

The Committee notes that the Government did not enclose copies of the laws and regulations governing the conditions for recruitment into the armed forces, and asks it to provide them with its next report.
