Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Greece (Ratification: 1952)

The Committee notes the Government's reports.

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the adoption in October 1995 of Act No. 2344/95 respecting the organization of civil defence, dealing with questions of emergency arising from physical or technological causes. The Act provides for the mobilization of groups of volunteers in emergency situations. The Committee notes that the Act replaces Legislative Decree No. 17 of 1974, on which it had been commenting for several years. It considers that the Act does not call for comments under the Convention.
