The Committee notes with regret that for the past ten years the Government’s report has not been received. The Committee recalls the Government’s repeated statements that revised labour legislation would include provisions that prohibit clandestine migration movements and provide for equal treatment and opportunity between migrant workers and nationals. The Committee had expressed the hope in this regard that the revised legislation would also impose penal sanctions against the organizers of clandestine movements of migrants or against those who employ such workers in accordance with Articles 3(b) and 6(1) of the Convention, and that it would ensure that migrant workers have free choice of employment in accordance with Article 14(a) of the Convention.

The Committee understands that the Government has not yet adopted the revised legislation. The Committee is concerned over the slow progress made with respect to the matters raised above. It urges the Government to take the necessary steps to give effect to Articles 3(b) and 6(1), 10 and 14(a) of the Convention, and hopes that the Government will be in a position to report positively on any results achieved in the near future. It reminds the Government that the Office remains available to provide technical assistance upon request to support the Government in its efforts to apply the Convention.
