Seamen's Articles of Agreement Convention, 1926 (No. 22) - Iraq (RATIFICATION: 1966)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

With reference to its previous comments in relation to Article 5 of the Convention, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that, in accordance with Decree No. 150 of 1987, seamen have been granted the status of employees and that no reports on the quality of work or reference to wages are being made under the Decree. The Committee again requests the Government to describe the form of the document to be given to each seaman, the particulars to be recorded and the manner in which such particulars are to be entered, and to provide a copy of such document.
