Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 - Thailand (Ratification: 2018)

Representation made under article 24 of the Constitution. The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It also notes that, at its 316th Session (March 2016), the Governing Body declared receivable the representation made by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) alleging non-observance by Thailand of the Convention, and set up a tripartite committee to examine it. In accordance with its usual practice, the Committee has decided to suspend its examination of the application of this Convention, in particular concerning trafficking of persons and the vulnerability of migrant workers to conditions of forced labour, pending the adoption by the Governing Body of the conclusions and recommendations of the above tripartite committee.
