Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

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

Further to its general observation, the Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. In its previous observations, it referred to the need for legislation to 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). It hopes it will soon be possible to make progress in this respect.
