Article 2 of the Convention. Seafarers’ identity documents. In its previous observation, noting the Government’s statement that the basic requirements of the Convention were still not implemented in law or practice, the Committee had requested the Government to provide information on any progress made regarding the implementation of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that the process for the issue of seafarers’ identity documents (SIDs) has not yet been finalized and that action to revive the technical committee for preparing the new regulations on SIDs will be undertaken. The Committee recalls that, since 2001, it has been expressing its concern regarding the discontinuation of the issuance of SIDs, which is a serious failure on the part of the Government in implementing the Convention. The Committee therefore urges the Government to take the necessary steps to ensure that its obligations under the Convention are fully respected and to provide a specimen (not a copy) of the seafarers’ identity document once it has been issued.

In its previous comment, the Committee had requested the Government to examine the possibility of ratifying the Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (No. 185). In this regard, it notes the Government’s statement that the ratification of Convention No. 185 will be considered at a later stage. The Committee requests the Government to inform of any progress made in this respect.
