The Committee notes with regret that no report was received from the Government.

1. The Committee recalls that in its earlier comments it requested the Government to supply information on any penalties applying to the exaction of forced labour.

The Committee has taken note of the Labour Act, No. 10/90/ASP, dated 29 November 1990, section 8 of which prohibits the imposition of forced labour. The Committee notes, however, that the Labour Act does not provide for any penal sanctions against the imposition of forced labour.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure, in conformity with Article 25 of the Convention, that adequate penal sanctions are provided for in the legislation to punish the illegal exaction of forced or compulsory labour.

2. Referring to its earlier comments on the freedom of persons in the service of the State to leave the service, the Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the legislation governing the public service.
