Talk:Forced Labour Convention

Article 11 applies to Men only.
RE: "any work or service exacted in cases of emergency, that is to say, in the event of war, of a calamity or threatened calamity, such as fire...."

Article 11 of the Convention


 * http://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?p=1000:12100:0::NO::P12100_ILO_CODE:C029

states that this only applies to abled bodied men aged 18-45. The entry should reflect this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CSDarrow (talk • contribs) 11:44, 21 May 2014 (UTC)


 * This is something I've been researching but I don't think it says that at all. Article 2 stipulates classes of work which are excluded from being forced or compulsory labour.  This may be necessary work as a result of war, calamity, etc.  Article 11 states that able bodied men who are apparently 18-45 may be used in forced or compulsory labour, although it does put some limitations on the proportion of men who may be so used.  My interpretation is that the convention permits the use of men for forced or compulsory labour outside of the exceptions listed in article 2. Robert Brockway (talk) 14:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
