Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2000, Publicación: 89ª reunión CIT (2001)

Further to its observation under the Convention and its previous comments, the Committee notes that the provisions of Act No. 95-009 of 31 January 1995 issuing the Merchant Marine Code and repealing the provisions of Act No. 78-043 of 28 February 1978, still do not give effect to the provisions of Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention (possibility for the seafarer to terminate an agreement for an indefinite period in any port where the vessel loads or unloads) and Article 12 (circumstances in which the seafarer may demand his immediate discharge). The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to apply these provisions of the Convention.
