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

Article 1, paragraph 1, and Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2(c), of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee recalls the Government's statement in 1995 to the effect that prison regulations would be amended and that implementing decrees were in the process of being drawn up. The Government also indicated that there was no hiring out of prison labour. The Committee notes that the last report contains no new information on this point, and requests the Government to provide up-to-date information with its next report on the application of the Convention.
