Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105) - Angola (RATIFICATION: 1976)

DISPLAYINFrench - SpanishAlle anzeigen

Article 1(c) of the Convention. The Committee had previously commented over many years on subsections (g) and (m) of section 1 of Act No. 11/75, of 15 December 1975, regarding discipline in the production process, under which "passive resistance to labour" or "any other acts which seriously hinder the production process" constituted "crimes against production" and were punishable with sentences of imprisonment of up to one year or more than six months respectively, involving an obligation to work (section 8(2)). The Committee notes with satisfaction that section 324(b) of the new General Labour Act (No. 2/2000 of 11 February 2000) repeals those non-complying subsections.
