Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

Convenio sobre el trabajo forzoso, 1930 (núm. 29) - Paraguay (Ratificación : 1967)

In its previous direct request, the Committee noted that under section 68 of Act No. 847 of 19 December 1980 (Conditions of Service of Military Personnel) an application to leave the service is receivable except in the following cases: (a) where an applicant has not completed his service engagement; (b) during a state of war; (c) during a state of national emergency; (d) during a state of siege, in which case the Commander-in-Chief decides whether the application is acceptable; (e) where the applicant is serving a sentence or disciplinary sanction; and (f) where he is under prosecution.

The Committee requested the Government to supply copies of the provisions establishing the length of the period for which military personnel may sign a service engagement. With regard to the case covered by section 68(d), the Committee asked the Government to supply information on the criteria and any deadlines to be observed in deciding upon an application to resign from service, including copies of any regulations or instructions in this matter.

Since once again the Government's report does not contain the requested information, the Committee hopes that it will be included in the next report.
