Convenio sobre el trabajo forzoso, 1930 (núm. 29) - Guinea-Bissau (Ratificación : 1977)

Article 2, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention. Work or service exacted as a consequence of a conviction in a court of law. In response to the Committee’s previous comments on the adoption of the texts governing the prison system, the Government indicates that there has been no progress and that there are no laws or regulations on the subject. The Government nonetheless intends to embark on far-reaching reforms of the state apparatus. The Committee takes note of this information and requests the Government to continue to provide information on progress made towards the adoption of texts governing the prison system, and particularly prison labour. Meanwhile, it requests the Government to provide information on the conditions in which convicts may be required to perform work in or outside prisons and to specify whether such work may be carried out for private individuals, companies or associations.
