Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Seamen's Articles of Agreement Convention, 1926 (No. 22) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1963)

The Committee notes with regret that for two consecutive years the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

With reference to its previous observation, the Committee notes the Government's statement in its report to the effect that all the steps are being taken towards the adoption of the draft Ordinance prepared in 1979 to bring the legislation into conformity with Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention (the possibility for the seaman of terminating an agreement for an indefinite period in any port where the vessel loads or unloads), Article 12 (determining the circumstances in which the seaman may demand his immediate discharge) and Article 14, paragraph 2 (the right of the seaman to a certificate). The Committee trusts that the Government will be able to report the adoption of the above draft in the very near future and transmit its text.
