Individual Case (CAS) - Discussion: 1989, Publication: 76th ILC session (1989)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1961)
Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 - Mauritania (Ratification: 2016)

The Employers' members recalled that in relation to Mauritania and Convention No. 29, the question of the elimination of slavery had been a source of problems for many years. The Committee of Experts had noted with regret that the necessary measures had not yet been taken to implement a law abolishing slavery. There had been discussions in past years with the Government, and the Employers' members failed to be convinced that slavery was no longer practised. This should therefore be included in the Committee's report under Convention No. 29 in relation to Mauritania.

The Workers' members associated themselves with the Employers' members' statement.
