Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2012, Publicación: 102ª reunión CIT (2013)

Convenio sobre el alojamiento de la tripulación (revisado), 1949 (núm. 92) - Iraq (Ratificación : 1977)

Articles 3 and 6–17 of the Convention. Implementing legislation. Crew accommodation requirements. The Committee recalls its previous comments in which it noted the lack of laws or regulations implementing the specific technical requirements of Part III of the Convention. As the Committee has pointed out, section 70 of the Civil Marine Service Act No. 201 of 1975 only requires in general terms the provision of necessary lodgings for the accommodation of seafarers as well as the supply of furniture and necessary conveniences, while the Instructions No. 22 of 1987, which have been issued under sections 152 and 108 of the Labour Code, are not specific to the maritime sector and give only partial effect to some of the requirements of the Convention. The Committee requests once again the Government to formulate and adopt in a timely manner laws or regulations giving full effect to the provisions of the Convention concerning, in particular, construction and design (Article 6), ventilation (Article 7), heating (Article 8), lighting (Article 9), sleeping rooms (Article 10), mess rooms (Article 11), recreational facilities (Article 12), sanitary accommodation (Article 13) and hospital accommodation (Article 14). In addition, the Government is requested to keep the Office informed of any further developments regarding the programme for the rebuilding of a merchant fleet and the establishment of a maritime authority, following the approval in May 2010 of the final draft of the Maritime Authority Act.
