Article 1(b) of the Convention. Labour or services exacted for purposes of participation in economic development. The Committee recalls that, under the terms of section L6(2) of the Labour Code, work required in the public interest by legislative provisions on participation in development is not considered to be forced or compulsory labour. It previously emphasized that this provision is contrary to Article 1(b) of the Convention, which prohibits the exaction of labour as a method of mobilizing and using labour for purposes of economic development. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Council of Ministers adopted a Bill on 8 May 2013 to amend the Labour Code with a view to bringing its provisions into conformity with the international standards ratified. The Bill has to be adopted by the National Assembly and promulgated by the President of the Republic. The Committee hopes that the Bill to amend the Labour Code will soon be adopted with a view to amending section L6(2) of the Labour Code, thereby ensuring the conformity of this provision with the Convention, which prohibits the exaction of labour as a method of mobilizing and using labour for purposes of economic development.
