The Committee notes the Government's report.

Article 1(c) and (d) of the Convention. With reference to the comments that it has been making since 1965, the Committee notes that sections 223 and 243 of the Merchant Shipping Code, which provide for a penalty of imprisonment involving compulsory labour in the event of certain breaches of labour discipline, have not yet been amended. It also notes that the Government's latest report contains no information on the measures taken in this respect.

On many occasions, the Committee has noted the Government's repeated indications that the Merchant Shipping Code was being revised. The Committee trusts that the Government will make every effort to bring the Merchant Shipping Code into conformity with the Convention and that it will provide information on the measures taken for this purpose.

Article 1(b). The Committee requested the Government to provide information on the organization and activities of youth camps and to provide a copy of the applicable provisions. In its latest report, the Government states that information on the organization of youth camps is not yet available. The Committee once again hopes that the Government will make every effort to provide the requested information.
