Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Accommodation of Crews Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 92) - Iraq (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee has been pointing out for several years that while some legislation exists referring in general terms to inspection in the Civil Marine Service and dealing with some specific aspects of working conditions, there appear to be no detailed laws and regulations applying the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government's latest report provides no further elements in response to its previous comments. The Committee recalls that under Article 3, paragraph 1, of the Convention a ratifying Member undertakes to maintain laws or regulations which ensure the application of the provisions of Part II (Planning and control of crew accommodation), Part III (Crew accommodation requirements) and Part IV (Application of Convention to existing ships) of the Convention. The Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures in law and practice to apply the Convention.
