Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - French Polynesia

Article 2, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention: The Committee previously referred to the provisions of section 81 of Decision No. 76-184 of 30 December 1976, under which persons sentenced to imprisonment, who are obliged to work by virtue of section 60 of this Decision, could be employed outside the prison establishment on behalf of private individuals under the responsibility and supervision of agents furnished by the employer and approved by the administration.

The Committee notes with interest the Government's indication in its report to the effect that Decision No. 88-193/AT of 18 December 1988 issuing the prison regulations for French Polynesia repeals Decision No. 76-184, including sections 60 and 81. The Committee asks the Government to provide a copy of the Decision in question which the Government said it would send but which was not enclosed with the report.
