Article 1(a) of the Convention. In its previous comments the Committee referred to the Prohibited Goods Ordinance of 1939 (sections 3, 6, 7 and subsection 4 of the first schedule) which are drawn up in general terms and permit the punishment of the expression of political opinions or ideological opposition to the political order. The Committee hopes that the Government will supply information on the effect given in practice to these provisions.

The Committee has noted the law of 12 April 1986 respecting certain modifications in relation to the promulgation of the Constitution, which repeals Law No. 17 of 1924 concerning illicit groupings.

The Committee requests the Government to send with its next report a copy of the provisions governing associations and political parties.

The Committee also hopes that the Government will supply a copy of the applicable provisions respecting the security of the State.

Article 1(b). In its previous comments the Committee requested the Government to supply the text of any measures taken to give effect to the recommendation of the National Congress of Economic Salvation that compulsory national service should be afforded moral and material support in order to direct human powers into building the national economy. It also requested the Government to supply the text of the triennial Economic Salvation Programme.

The Committee notes this Programme, of which the Government supplied a copy. The Committee also notes the Government's statement that the competent services have started to take practical measures to implement the recommendation by calling up the persons to whom the requirements of compulsory service apply.

The Committee would appreciate if the Government would supply a copy of the measures adopted with a view to giving effect to the above recommendation.
