Decision on the fourth item on the agenda: Follow-up
to the resolution concerning remaining measures
on the subject of Myanmar adopted by the Conference at its 102nd Session (2013)

The Governing Body noted that while progress had been made, a number of fundamental activities required under the Action Plan for the Elimination of Forced Labour in Myanmar by 2015 had not yet been implemented.

In that context the Governing Body:

(a) requested the Director-General to prepare a report for consideration at the 325th Session of the Governing Body (November 2015) on the implementation and possible need for extension of the Action Plan, the status of any outstanding individual cases including those specifically referred to in the report, and steps necessary to ensure prosecution and accountability of those who had exacted forced labour;

(b) called on the Government of Myanmar to take all necessary actions to ensure compliance with the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29), and requested the Government to submit, to the 325th Session of the Governing Body (November 2015), a report on the measures it would take to do so in the shortest possible time.
