Article 25 of the Convention. Penal sanctions for the exaction of forced labour. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to provide information on the acts committed which led to the opening of criminal proceedings under section 173 of the Criminal Code regarding the exaction of labour. In this respect, the Committee notes the statistics on the labour inspection activities in the 2018 implementation report, in the context of inspection visits relating to undeclared work. The Committee notes from this report, that 554 cases relating to sections 172 (unlawful dismissal) and 173 (gross violation of an employment contract, including coercion to work) of the Criminal Code were investigated. The Committee notes, however, that no specific information was provided by the Government on the acts committed regarding specifically the coercion to work under section 173 of the Criminal Code, nor on the outcome of the relevant proceedings with respect to the sanction imposed. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to provide information on the number and nature of violations detected under section 173 of the Criminal Code regarding the coercion to work, as well as on the initiation of criminal proceedings, including the number of convictions and the specific penalties applied.
