The Committee takes note of the Government's report.

Article 1, paragraph 1, and Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2(d), of the Convention. The Committee noted in its earlier comments that Orders Nos. 12/75 of 15 October 1975 and 44/83 of 21 May 1983, which allowed certain forms of call-up and had been the subject of previous comments, had been tacitly repealed by the adoption of Act No. 23/92 of 16 September 1992 amending the Constitution. The Committee again invites the Government to take the necessary measures to repeal explicitly the provisions in question in order to avoid any doubt or uncertainty with regard to positive law and to bring national legislation into full conformity with the Convention.

Article 1, paragraph 1. In its previous direct requests, the Committee requested the texts of laws and regulations governing the conditions for recruitment into the armed forces (in particular the provisions governing the conditions under which a career officer or soldier may resign). The Committee notes the Government's statement that it will provide the texts requested with its next report.
