《海事劳工公约》将于1年后生效

随着最后两个国家申请成为成员国得到正式批准，联合国国际劳工组织(ILO)8月21日宣布《海事劳工公约》（2006年）将于1年后生效。该公约包括劳动力标准及船员权利等法案，涉及全世界120万名船员的工作条件改善、健康及安全问题，包括了最基本的雇佣权、最低工作及居住条件的强制性保障、船上及岸上的控诉权。该公约适用于一切从事商业活动的船舶，不包括渔船及旧帆船。ILO于2006年2月通过该公约，按照规定，有30个ILO成员国提出要求，且这30个成员国的船队运力达到世界船队总运力的33%以上，才能执行公约规定。由于最近俄罗斯和菲律宾陆续加入ILO，这项要求得以满足。该公约将适用于全球所有船舶，包括未获批准的成员国的船舶。国际劳工组织是联合国的一个专门机构。

The UN International Labor organization (ILO) announced Tuesday that the Maritime Labor Convention, 2006 has received its final two required ratifications

and will go into effect in 12 months. The Convention is a comprehensive range of labor standards and a seafarers' bill of rights covering decent working

conditions and health and safety issues for the world's 1.2 million merchant sailors, including basic employment rights, improved enforcement of minimum

working and living conditions and the right to make complaints both on board and ashore. It applies to all ships engaged in commercial activities, excepting

fishing vessels and traditional ships. The Convention was adopted by the ILO in February 2006, requiring subsequent ratification by 30 ILO member states

representing a total share of at least 33 percent of the world's gross tonnage of ships. That requirement was fulfilled by the recent ratifications by Russia

and the Philippines. The Convention will be applied globally to all ships, regardless of whether they hail from non-ratifying member states. The ILO is a

specialized agency of the UN.
