Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Article 14, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes that the record book issued to seamen provides for entry of the reason for the seafarer's discharge, which is inconsistent with this provision of the Convention. Article 14, paragraph 1, provides that only the discharge shall be entered in the record book and the list of crew, and not the reason for the termination or rescission of the agreement. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary steps to ensure that this provision of the Convention is properly applied.
