Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

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

In its previous comments, the Committee noted from the Government's report that the proposed new Labour Law and the draft Decree, to which it had been referring in its reports for a number of years, had 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.
