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

Convenio sobre el trabajo forzoso, 1930 (núm. 29) - Rumania (Ratificación : 1957)

The Committee takes note of the Government's report.

1. Article 1, paragraph 1, and Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2(c), of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee recalls that the exception provided for in Article 2, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention relates only to conviction in a court of law, and that work imposed by administrative or other non-judicial authorities does not fall within the scope of the exception. In this connection, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government to the effect that there are no cases of work being imposed on prisoners by non-judicial authorities. The Committee previously expressed the hope that the Bill on the enforcement of penalties would contain the specifications necessary to avoid any uncertainty in law in this respect. The Committee notes that this Bill has not yet been adopted and that the Government will supply a copy of the text as soon as it is adopted.

2. Article 2, paragraph 1. The Committee notes that a list of various enactments that have lapsed has been submitted to Parliament for repeal, and that the list includes Act No. 24/1976 to which it referred in its previous comment. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the repealing text as soon as it has been adopted.
