Just a quarter of the 64 states that have ratified the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) have to date submitted their reports to the International Labor Organization (ILO) for expert review.
Under Article 22 of the ILO Constitution (Annual reports on ratified Conventions), states are required to submit their reports to the ILO secretariat after consulting with their social partners, the International Chamber of Shipping(ICS) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation. However, Natalie Shaw, director of employment affairs at the International Chamber of Shipping claims that only 16 of the 64 states have submitted their reports.
