Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2004, Publicación: 93ª reunión CIT (2005)

Convenio sobre el trabajo forzoso, 1930 (núm. 29) - Guyana (Ratificación : 1966)

The Committee has noted a communication dated 29 October 2003 received from the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), which contains observations concerning the application of the Convention by Guyana. The ICFTU alleges, in particular, that there is evidence of forced prostitution and reports of child prostitution in cities and remote gold mining areas. The Committee notes that this communication was sent to the Government on 13 January 2004 for any comments it might wish to make on the matters raised therein. The Committee observes that no such comments have been received from the Government so far and hopes that the Government will communicate its comments with its next report, so as to enable the Committee to examine them at its next session.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2005.]
