The Committee notes section 4 of the Military Service Act (No. 27178), establishing that the purpose of military service is the training of Peruvian nationals of military age for their efficient participation in national defence and national development.

The Committee recalls that, under the terms of the Convention, only work of a purely military character lies outside the scope of application of the Convention and it requests the Government to provide information on the work carried out by persons performing compulsory military service.
