Convention (n° 23) sur le rapatriement des marins, 1926 - Iraq (Ratification: 1976)

Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Further to the comments it has been making for a number of years the Committee notes the Government's brief reply that it is in the process of coordinating with the competent authority concerning the measures to be taken to ensure that the expenses of foreign seafarers who are awaiting repatriation in locations outside Iraq are paid to them as they would be if these seafarers were in Iraq irrespective of whether they are employed in the public or private sector. The Committee trusts the Government will shortly take the necessary measures to ensure that such repatriation expenses are paid to all seafarers and to communicate all details in its next report.
