Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Fishermen's Competency Certificates Convention, 1966 (No. 125) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must, therefore, repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

In earlier comments the Committee had noted that there existed no laws or regulations to give effect to the Convention. In its latest report (1995) the Government indicated that it had formulated new regulations for the fishing industry which would incorporate the Committee's comments. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information on the measures adopted to apply the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
