Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Fishermen's Articles of Agreement Convention, 1959 (No. 114) - Liberia (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Repetition

Articles 3 to 9 of the Convention. Fishers’ articles of agreement. Noting that for the last 30 years the Government has been referring to the forthcoming adoption of new legislation giving effect to the provisions of the Convention, the Committee once more asks the Government to indicate any measures taken to ensure the application of the Convention both in law and in practice. The Government is also asked to specify whether the Liberian Maritime Law (RLM-107), the Liberian Maritime Regulations (RLM-108), and the Marine Notice SEA-002 (Rev.05/12), also apply to fishing vessels.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
