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

Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105) - Thailand (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee has noted the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous direct request.

Article 1(a) of the Convention. The Committee previously noted the Government’s indication in its 1999 report that the Press Act B.E. 2484 (1941) was in the process of revocation. According to the Government’s latest report, a draft amendment of this Act is under consideration by the Minister of the Interior and will be further scrutinized by the Council of State. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on the revocation or amendment of the Act and requests the Government to supply a text of amendments or repealing text, as soon as it is adopted.
