Article 2(2)(a) of the Convention. Work exacted under compulsory military service laws. The Committee notes that graduates may perform their compulsory military service as auxiliaries in the National Prison Guards and Surveillance Service, and that the Directorate of Recruitment and Control of Army Reserves will forward the required quotas to the National Prison Institute for the selection that is made by the National Prison School (Decree No. 537).

The Committee requests the Government to provide information on this form of military service, with an indication of the number of persons involved, and recalls that any service in virtue of compulsory military service is excluded from the application of the Convention in so far as the work performed is of a purely military character.
