Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1998, Publicación: 87ª reunión CIT (1999)

Convenio sobre el trabajo forzoso, 1930 (núm. 29) - Aruba

The Committee has noted the information in the Government's report.

Article 1(1) and Article 2(1) and 2(a) and (d) of the Convention. The Committee notes that the effect of articles V.27 and V.28 of the Constitution of Aruba appears to be that persons conscripted into the armed forces may be compelled in extraordinary circumstances to carry out non-military functions. It refers to the difficulties arising in such conditions, as discussed in paragraphs 49 to 53 and 63 to 66 of its 1979 General Survey on forced labour, and would be glad if the Government would supply copies of any implementing legislation and the mode of its practical application.

Article 2(2)(c). Please provide a copy of the new Ordinance and regulations proposed regarding prison services.

Article 25. Please provide information on cases of practical application of sanctions for the illegal imposition of forced labour, having regard especially to the question of foreign workers.
