New research from SRI, the international pan-industry body researching maritime and seafarers\u2019 law, concludes that the Maritime Labour Convention is not being strictly and evenly enforced on a global basis.\u00a0 The findings identify substantial achievements in the enforcement of the MLC, but also identify significant gaps.\u00a0 The research has adopted a unique approach by evaluating the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders and role players in the Convention.\u00a0 It also presents a Table of Indicators that assesses the enforcement of the MLC by individual States.<\/p>\n

Taking the findings as a whole and aggregating all regions of the world, it is very approximately estimated that implementation and enforcement of the MLC is achieving a success rate of around 65%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese findings challenge any complacency about the MLC working efficiently and uniformly around the world,\u201d says Deirdre Fitzpatrick, Executive Director of SRI. \u201cThe high level of ratifications and the high percentage of coverage of world tonnage could lead to the view that the MLC is widely effective around the world.\u00a0 But the research shows a different reality and points to where more efforts are needed to address the gaps in the effectiveness of the MLC. The MLC has not yet achieved a single international level playing field\u201d.<\/p>\n

When the MLC was unanimously adopted by the 94th (Maritime) Session of the ILC, Geneva in February 2006, it was variously described as \u2018an extraordinary accomplishment\u2019, \u2018a truly historic event\u2019, \u2018epoch-making\u2019 and \u2018without precedent\u2019.\u00a0 More than ten years after the MLC came into force, the industry is facing momentous change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe research found that the significance of the MLC as a living instrument must also be seen in the changing maritime environment and as intrinsically linked with other international conventions and the changes that are being seen with Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS); environmental, social and governance (ESG) in the shipping industry; and climate change\u201d, adds Deirdre Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the barriers to a level playing field appear to be lack of resources and expertise to implement and enforce the Convention strictly and evenly by all States around the world.\u00a0 States ratify the Convention but there are cases where the States then do not implement the provisions of the MLC into their national laws and practices, or they do not report their compliance to the ILO.\u00a0 It is an ongoing task to build capacity and awareness leading to compliance for a more effective MLC around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
