Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the Employment Act, No. 11 of 1967, and the Employment (Amendment) Act, No. 1 of 1977, were repealed by the Labour Code Order, No. 24 of 1992. The Committee notes with interest the definition of forced labour given in section 3 of the Order and the penal sanctions provided in section 7(1) of the Order for any person who exacts or imposes forced labour for the benefit of any private individual, association or body and in section 7(2) for any chief or public officer who puts constraint upon the population or any member thereof to work for any private individual, company, association or other such body. The Committee hopes that similar sanctions will be provided for any imposition of forced labour as defined in section 3, even if imposed for the benefit of a public entity, and that the Government will report on any measures taken towards this end.
