Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1988, published 75th ILC session (1988)

Medical Examination (Fishermen) Convention, 1959 (No. 113) - Liberia (Ratification: 1960)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that the proposed new Labour Law and the draft Decree, to which it has been referring in its reports for a number of years, have not yet been adopted. It trusts that these texts will be adopted in the near future and that they will give effect to Article 2 of the Convention (requirement of a physical fitness certificate for employment on a fishing vessel), Article 3 (nature of the medical examination), Article 4 (period of validity of certificates) and Article 5 (possibility of a further medical examination), and that the Government will provide a copy of the provisions adopted.
