Placing of Seamen Convention, 1920 (No. 9) - Aruba

Article 2 of the Convention. Placing of seafarers. In its previous report, the Government had indicated that it planned to consult with employers’ and workers’ organizations on the possibility of formally terminating the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention on behalf of Aruba as the practice of finding employment for seafarers did not occur in Aruba. In its last report, the Government provides no new information regarding its announced intention to terminate the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention on behalf of Aruba. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any new developments that might have an impact on the application of the Convention and also on the outcome of the discussions within the tripartite committee on international labour affairs concerning the possible termination of the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention on behalf of Aruba.
