Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

The Committee notes the Government’s statement in its report that there are no national laws or regulations applying specifically to work on board ship as yet and that the general labour legislation has shortcomings in this respect. It also notes that a reform is currently being conducted by the Committee on the Revision of General Labour Law and that the latter is having considerable difficulty in carrying out its task.

The Committee points out to the Government that it may seek technical assistance from the Office in amending its national legislation to bring it into line with the provisions of the Convention.
