Proposed amendments to the form for reports to be requested under article 22 of the ILO Constitution in relation to the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006)

Amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, were approved in June 2014 by the International Labour Conference and entered into force on 18 January 2017. In the present document, the Governing Body is invited to examine and approve a revised report form to be used by the governments of ratifying States as a basis for their reports on the application of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006), in accordance with article 22 of the ILO Constitution. The proposed changes to the report form were consulted with the Officers of the Special Tripartite Committee of the MLC, 2006 (see the draft decision in paragraph 8).
