See the comments made under Convention No. 1 concerning section 205 of the Labour Code, as follows:

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the information communicated by the Government in its report that section 205 of the Labour Code, which permits the extension of the normal length of the working day to 12 hours in certain cases, has still not been repealed.

The Committee recalls that it has been making comments on this question since 1969, and notes that no progress has been made in spite of direct contacts in 1977 and 1981. The Committee therefore urges the Government to take the measures necessary to assure that the national legislation is in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Convention.
