The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report, and particularly the draft legislation that is being initiated by the General Directorate for the Protection of Young Persons and the Ministry of Justice and Labour respecting the legislative reforms required to bring the national legislation into conformity with the Convention. The Committee hopes that the above draft text will be adopted in the near future and will contain provisions giving effect to the various Articles of the Convention, and particularly Article 6, on the application of which the Committee has repeatedly commented.

The Committee also requests the Government to take into account the comments made under Convention No. 77.
