Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 - Sri Lanka (Ratification: 2019)

1. In its previous comments the Committee noted the information supplied by the Government regarding the possibility of career members of the armed forces to leave the service on their own initiative and it requested the Government to provide further details on the length of service for persons who are bonded to a stipulated period, the amount of payment required from persons serving for a bonded period who apply for resignation and on the criteria used by the President to allow officers to resign, including the number of cases where applications for resignation by officers had been rejected. The Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will be in a position to provide the information with its next report as well as copies of any rules or regulations governing these matters.

2. The Committee again requests the Government to provide a copy of any recent reports and surveys on child labour made by the Department of Probation and Child Care and by the Women and Children's Affairs Division of the Department of Labour.
