The objective of this Programme is to enhance social and economic
conditions in the maritime industry as a whole and particularly for seafarers
as part of ILO’s objective aimed at "promoting opportunities for men
and women to obtain decent and productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity,
security and human dignity". This objective is articulated in the concept
of Decent Work, which
has received unanimous support of ILO’s tripartite constituents. The Director
general of the ILO has officially launched the Programme during the opening ceremony
of the 29th session of the Joint maritime Commission, which took place in January
2001. |
