Description:
"...The present document traces its origins to conclusions reached earlier by the International
Labour Conference and the Governing Body. At its 95th Session (June 2006), the
International Labour Conference adopted the report of the Selection Committee, which had
concluded that ?the ILO has the possibility to seek an advisory opinion from the
International Court of Justice which would
require the formulation of a specific legal
question relating to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29)”. 1 At its November
2006 session, the Governing Body examined elements that could be brought before the
Court for this purpose...In light of the signature on 26 February 2007 of a Supplementary Understanding between
the International Labour Office and the Government of Myanmar (see GB.298/5/1), there
would seem to be no reason to submit a request for an advisory opinion on this question at
the moment. Thus the Governing Body may wish to keep suspended a referral of this
question to the International Court of Justice..."
