Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Papua New Guinea (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments.

Referring to its general direct request of 1981 on freedom of persons in the service of the State to terminate their employment on their own initiative, the Committee, in previous comments, asked the Government to supply a copy of the internal instructions concerning resignation from the Defence Force.

The Committee, recalling that it has been requesting the Government for a number of years to send relevant instructions, expresses once more the hope that the texts will soon be provided.
