Protection against Accidents (Dockers) Convention (Revised), 1932 (No. 32) - Pakistan (Ratification: 1947)

Further to its previous observation based on the comments made by the Fishing Vessels Employees’ Union of 1991 concerning the working conditions of coastal fishermen, the Committee notes from the Government’s report that the updated Pakistan Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 2001, is in the process of approval. The Government states that as soon as it is adopted, a copy of the text will be provided to the ILO. The Committee reiterates its hope that this text, as well as subsequent rules, will be adopted shortly and that their provisions will give effect to the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the texts as soon as they have been adopted.
