The Committee welcomes the ratification by Israel of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930. It notes the information provided by the Government in its report on the Convention, concerning the adoption of a new law prohibiting purchase of sexual services in 2019. The aim of this law is to reduce prostitution by outlawing the purchase of sexual services.
The Committee, however, notes that the first report of the Government to the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930, has not been received. The Committee requests the Government to provide a detailed report on the application of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930, in accordance with the report form adopted by the Governing Body, due in 2025. In particular, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to: (i) develop a national policy and plan of action to combat forced labour; (ii) prevent forced labour practices, including trafficking in persons; (iii) identify victims of forced labour and provide protection and access to appropriate and effective remedies, such as compensation; and (iv) ensure that perpetrators of forced labour are prosecuted and sanctioned.
