The Work in Fishing Convention, adopted at the last session of the International Labour conference in June 2007, revises and updates a number of earlier International Labour Organization (ILO) instruments concerning the working and living conditions of fishers. The Convention aims to provide decent work for fishers and contribute to a sustainable fishing industry. Together with the Maritime Labour Convention of 2006, it stands as a prominent example of the ILO’s continued effort for consolidated, flexible, and easily ratifiable labor standards.
