Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - United Arab Emirates (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee notes a communication received in August 2003 from the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), which contains observations concerning the application of the Convention. It notes that this communication was sent to the Government for any comments it might wish to make on the matter raised therein. In its comments, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) refers to the trafficking of women for the purposes of forced prostitution. The Committee hopes that the Government will respond to the allegations on the matter raised by the ICFTU.
