Maritime Labour Convention
Ethiopia ratifies the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006)
Ethiopia is the 91th Member State of the ILO to have ratified the Convention
Today, Ethiopia is marking the ILO’s centenary with the ratification of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006). On 28 March 2019, Ethiopia deposited with the International Labour Office the instrument of ratification of the MLC, 2006. It became the 91th Member State of the ILO to have ratified the Convention. This ratification is therefore an important step towards the universal application of the Convention.
The MLC, 2006 is the fourth pillar of the international regulatory regime for the maritime sector, alongside the three Conventions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), namely the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping (STCW), as revised in 1995, and again in Manila in 2010.
The MLC, 2006 will enter into force for Ethiopia on 28 March 2020, that one year after its ratification. For further information, please visit the MLC, 2006 webpage.
