The Committee notes that, according to section 3 of the Labour Code, forced or compulsory labour is forbidden, but this interdiction does not apply to works, services or assistance required in the case of robbery, pillage, flagrant offence, public complaints or judicial execution (section 3.1). The Committee requests the Government to indicate the kind of labours that can be imposed in these cases, and the circumstances in which these works are imposed.

According to section 3, paragraph 2, works of general interest performed to comply with a convention freely approved by the members of "fokonolona" and which become executive or in the framework of small works for the village, are not considered forced labour.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the kind of works considered of general interest and on the sanctions applied in case persons do not comply with the execution of such works.
