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

Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105) - Aruba

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee noted with interest the Government's first report on the application of the Convention. The Committee noted in particular the indication that the complete national legislation of the Netherlands Antilles has been adopted by Aruba as of 1 January 1986.

Referring to its 1989 observation on the Convention regarding the Netherlands Antilles, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report whether the amendments made in the Criminal Code of the Netherlands Antilles by Ordinance No. 152 of 7 November 1986, particularly as regards sections 405, 413 and 414 of the Criminal Code concerning certain breaches of labour discipline by seamen, have also been adopted by Aruba, and to supply a copy of any statutory instrument to that effect.
