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

The Committee notes that according to the information supplied by the Government in its latest report no measures have been taken for the purpose of establishing a pension scheme for seafarers, as provided for by section 142 of Act No. 212/AN/82 issuing the Shipping Code. The Government indicates in this regard that such a scheme will be established in due course when there is a sufficient number of seafarers in the country. In these circumstances, the Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will be able to indicate in its next report the adoption of measures constituting tangible progress in the establishment of a pension scheme for seafarers in accordance with the provisions of the Convention. Meanwhile, it requests the Government to indicate in what manner the protection provided by the Convention is guaranteed for seafarers employed on board vessels registered in Djibouti.
