Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1997, publiée 86ème session CIT (1998)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its earlier comments.

1. In its previous direct request the Committee noted that, by virtue of article 21 of the Law on Islamic Penalties (No. 586/1370), orders for penal sanctions and conditions of imprisonment are subject to the provisions of the law on the instructions for criminal investigations and other laws and decrees on the topic. It requested the Government to supply copies of the laws and decrees governing conditions of imprisonment, referred to in article 21 of the Law on Islamic Penalties, in particular as regards prison labour.

The Committee notes the Government's indication in the report that the Law on the Instructions for Criminal Investigation does not include any provision for prison labour. Nevertheless, it would be grateful if the Government would supply, with its next report, copies of this law and other laws and decrees referred to in the above-mentioned article 21, which, according to the Government, were appended to the report, but in fact have never been received in the ILO.

2. The Committee notes the provision of article 4 of the Procedure for the enforcement of the definitive judgements of the dispute-finding and settlement bodies, of 2 May 1991, adopted by the Council of Ministers under section 166 of the Labour Code, according to which the procedure for the enforcement of the definitive judgements of the dispute-finding and settlement bodies will be subject to the enforcement rules and regulations of the Courts of Justice. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply, with its next report, copies of these rules and regulations, referred to in the above-mentioned article 4, in particular as regards the enforcement of the decisions concerning the settlement of collective labour disputes.
