Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Minimum Age (Sea) Convention (Revised), 1936 (No. 58) - Yemen (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes the complexity of the situation prevailing on the ground and the presence of armed groups and armed conflict in the country.

Noting with regret that the Government has not submitted a report on the application of the Convention for the sixth consecutive year, the Committee recalls that, in the context of the Standards Review Mechanism, in accordance with the recommendation of the Special Tripartite Committee established under the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006), the ILO Governing Body classified Convention No. 58 as “outdated”. At its 343rd Session (November 2021), the Governing Body placed an item concerning the abrogation of the Convention on the agenda of the 118th Session (2030) of the International Labour Conference. In this context, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on any developments regarding the eventual ratification of the MLC, 2006.

[The Government is asked to reply in full to the present comments in 2024.]
