The School of Law of the University of Nicosia is organizing a lecture on The ILO Maritime Labour Convention at a Glance that will take place at Newton Amphitheatre of the University of Nicosia at Wednesday, 11 December at 15:00.
The lecture will describe the international nature of Maritime Transport, which leads to the need for international Maritime Standards and hence the decision for the development and adoption by the International Labour Organization (ILO) of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC). It will also highlight the importance of the MLC and the advantages it provides to the seafarers. The lecture will provide a more detailed explanation of the Scope of Application of the MLC and its underlying purposes as well as its structure, layout and contents. Finally, the lecture will provide explanations to selected parts of the MLC and examples of selected provisions, along with relevant explanations. During a “Questions & Answers” session at the end of the lecture, further clarification and information will be provided.
