Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2011, publiée 101ème session CIT (2012)

Convention (n° 29) sur le travail forcé, 1930 - République démocratique populaire lao (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes with satisfaction that the amended Labour Law, 2006, has repealed and replaced the Labour Law of 1994, which contained a provision (section 4) exempting from the prohibition of forced labour any work performed in accordance with a resolution adopted by local authorities, where such work constituted an obligation on all citizens in the common interest of the nation.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
