The Committee notes with deep concern that, the first report on the Seafarer’s Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003, (No. 185), as amended, due since 2015, the first report on the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006) due since 2016, and the first report on the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188), due since 2018, have not been received. The Committee again notes with deep concern that, for the fourth year, the reports due on ratified Conventions have not been received. Sixteen reports are now due on fundamental, governance and technical Conventions, most of which should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments.

On the basis of the decision of the Committee concerning the treatment of urgent appeals for countries that have not supplied reports due for the past three years or more, the Committee decided to examine at this session the application of Conventions Nos 29, 81, 87, 150, 152, 182 and 188 based on public information at its disposal.

The Committee firmly hopes that the Government will soon submit all its reports in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments. The Committee reminds the Government that it may avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office in this regard.
