Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

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

The Committee notes that the Government's report does not refer to the matter raised previously concerning 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on which the Committee has been commenting for several years, which, according to the Government, have been tacitly repealed by the adoption of Act No. 23/92 of 16 September 1992 amending the Constitution.

The Committee once again drew the Government's attention to the fact that it would be advisable for the above texts to be explicitly repealed in order to bring the national legislation formally into line with the Convention and it requests the Government to take the necessary measures to that effect.

The Committee notes that the texts of the laws and regulations governing the conditions for recruitment into the armed forces were not attached to the report and requests the Government to provide them with its next report.
