Repatriation of Seamen Convention, 1926 (No. 23) - Iraq (RATIFICATION: 1976)

The Committee notes the Government's reply to its previous direct request.

Article 5 of the Convention. According to the Government's report, the accommodation and maintenance expenses of foreign seafarers are paid while they are in Iraq. Please indicate whether they are also paid abroad when seafarers are awaiting transport to the port of repatriation.

The Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will not fail to supply with its next report a copy or relevant extracts of the Port Instructions and Orders, 1949.
