The Committee notes the Government's report.

Article 1(a) and (d) of the Convention. The Committee has been referring for many years to Ordinance No. 30/CSM of 26 November 1975 and to Act No. 15 of 13 December 1959, under which participation in strikes is punishable by imprisonment involving forced labour. The Committee also referred to Act No. 35 of 8 January 1960 respecting subversive texts, under the terms of which persons who have expressed political ideas may be punished in a manner which is not compatible with the Convention.

In its last report, the Government indicates that no specific text to repeal the above provisions has been adopted, but that the provisions in question are not applied anywhere on the national territory. The Government however reaffirms its determination to conduct inter-ministerial negotiations so that these texts are repealed in the future.

The Committee takes due note of these indications and the above commitment. It hopes that the Government will soon provide information on the measures which have been taken or are envisaged to bring its legislation into conformity with the practice indicated and with the Convention.
