With regard to the adoption of the regulations determining light work activities for children of 14 years and above, and the conditions for such work, the Government states that due to the political instability in the country these regulations could not be formalized.

The Committee expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures to ensure that the regulations determining the activities permitted as light work and the number of working hours allowed in this type of employment in accordance with Article 7(3) of the Convention are finalized soon. It requests the Government to provide information on any progress made in this regard and to supply a copy of the regulations once they have been adopted.
