Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Kuwait (Ratification: 1968)

Also referring to its observation, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the following point:

Resignation for career military personnel. In its previous comments, the Committee had observed that the Government had not indicated what criteria would apply to the acceptance or rejection of a resignation presented in conformity with Law No. 32 of 1967 (sections 104 and 105). The Committee had stressed that career military personnel who have voluntarily engaged in the armed forces should have the right to leave the service in peacetime within a reasonable period, either at specified intervals or with previous notice (see General Survey of 1979 on the abolition of forced labour, paragraphs 33 and 72). Having received no information in this connection, the Committee repeats its previous request on this point.
