Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Papua New Guinea (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes with regret that no report has been received from the Government. 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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:

Referring to its general direct request of 1981 on the freedom of persons in the service of the State to terminate their employment on their own initiative, the Committee, in previous comments, asked the Government to supply a copy of the internal instructions concerning resignation from the Defence Force.

The Committee, recalling that it has been requesting the Government for a number of years to send relevant instructions, expresses once more the hope that the texts will soon be provided.
