General Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2021, published 110th ILC session (2022)

Gabon

The Committee notes with deep concern that the first report on the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006), due since 2016 has not been received. Even in the absence of this first report, the Committee decided to examine last year the application of this Convention on the basis of public information at its disposal. The Committee also notes that none of the reports requested this year have been received. Nine reports are now due this year on fundamental, governance and technical Conventions, most of which should have included information in reply to the Committee’s comments.

Recalling that technical assistance was provided on these issues this year by the International Training Centre of the ILO, the Committee firmly hopes that the Government will soon submit this first report on the application of the MLC, 2006 due since 2016, as well as the other reports due this year in accordance with its constitutional obligation and that they will respond to the Committee’s comments.
