About this audiobook
The Maritime Labour Convention is a foundational international legal text that consolidates and modernizes a wide range of standards governing life and work at sea. Adopted by the International Labour Organization in 2006 and entering into force in 2013, it addresses seafarers' minimum age, employment agreements, wages, hours of work and rest, accommodation, food, medical care, repatriation, social security, and onboard complaint procedures. Its style is necessarily codificatory rather than literary: carefully defined obligations, regulations, and technical standards are arranged within the Convention and its supporting Code. In the broader context of international maritime law, the work is notable for linking labor protection with flag-State responsibility, port-State inspection, and the practical demands of a globalized shipping industry. The International Labour Organization, founded in 1919 and distinguished by its tripartite participation of governments, employers, and workers, produced this instrument in response to the fragmented and uneven character of earlier maritime labor rules. Its authors sought to establish a coherent, enforceable framework that would protect seafarers while creating fairer conditions of competition among shipping nations. The Convention thus reflects the ILO's enduring commitment to social justice through international standard-setting. This is essential reading for maritime lawyers, policymakers, labor historians, shipping professionals, and anyone interested in the relationship between globalization and workers' rights. It offers both a practical regulatory reference and a significant document in the history of international labor governance.
