Difficulties implementing Maritime Labour Convention outlined

More than 50 senior legal professionals from 22 countries took the opportunity to increase their understanding of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) and the tough challenges faced in implementing its provisions and amendments across local jurisdictions. They came together at the second Symposium on the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 and Case Law, jointly organised by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Training Centre of the ILO with the assistance of Seafarers' Rights International (SRI).
