In its previous 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 forced labour in the event 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.
