Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 - Denmark (Ratification: 2017)

The Committee notes with satisfaction that sections 198 and 199 of the Danish Penal Code, under which, in certain cases of habitual idleness, a person able to work could be directed by the police to employment and punished for vagrancy, and which were no longer applied in practice, were repealed by Act No. 141 of 17 March 1999.
