Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Guinea (Ratification: 1959)

Freedom of public servants to terminate their employment. In relation to its previous comments concerning the freedom of public servants to terminate their employment on their own initiative, the Committee notes with interest article 122 of Law No. L/2001/028/AN on the general status of public servants, communicated by the Government. This article provides for the right of a public servant to resign by means of a written request presented to the relevant administrative authority. A decision by the competent authority to intervene must occur within three months, beyond which point the request to resign is deemed accepted.

Minor communal services. The Committee notes the information from the Government concerning work involving the construction of ramps in rural communities.

Child trafficking. Concerning the questions raised by the Committee in its previous direct request on the situation of child victims of sale, trafficking and prostitution, the Committee notes the ratification of Convention No. 182 in 2003. It considers that these questions can henceforth be considered with greater specificity under that Convention.

Request for legislation. The Committee asks the Government to communicate a copy of the Penal Code, as well as copies of provisions governing the penitentiary system.
