In February 2006, an important new international labour Convention was adopted by the International Labour Conference of the International Labour Organization, which sets out seafarers’ rights to decent conditions of work and helps to create conditions of fair competition for shipowners.
This CD-ROM is an easy to use reference tool to help readers understand the Convention. It includes the text of the Convention itself and offers a list of frequently asked questions with answers. The CD-ROM also explains the importance of this Convention to governments, shipowners and seafarers and provides a section on the promotion of its ratification.
