Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Algeria (Ratification: 1962)

Articles 1, paragraph 1, and 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee refers to its observation and recalls that the model conditions of service for seafarers (Decree No. 88-17 of 13 September 1988) lay down certain restrictions on the freedom of workers to leave their employment. The Committee trusts the Government will take its comments into consideration in the envisaged revision of the Decree to bring it into conformity with the Convention, and provide details.
