By 2001 the ILO has accepted more than 182 conventions and 190 recommendations (in Russia operate less these 1/3 of conventions). Conventions the ILO for the country, to them joined by their ratification, are obligatory for execution. The ILO supervises it. Recommendations the ILO are not subject to ratification, but their value that they often in detail explain conventions, supplement them, and recommendations the ILO on the questions which have been not provided by conventions, help with perfection of the national labour legislation. Many recommendations simply duplicate conventions, helping those countries which have not joined corresponding convention.

The basic labour human rights were, as it was specified, are fixed by United Nations certificates. These labour rights concretise certificates the ILO, for example, about a forced labour interdiction — the Convention №29 (1936) and the Convention № 105 (1957). In the convention № 29 it is developed the concept of forced labour, of the Convention № 105 is given measures on forced labour elimination, including its interdiction as a summary punishment measure are expanded.

So, the Convention № 122 “About the politician in the field of employment” (1964) proclaims the active policy of the states in assistance of the full productive and freely selected employment of able-bodied population.

In a number of certificates the ILO criteria of a wrongful dismissal are established and protection against them is provided. So, the Convention № 158 provides that dismissal is possible only in the presence of the lawful bases connected with abilities or behaviour of the worker or a recognition of manufacture by the bankrupt.

The convention the ILO № 47 “About reduction of working hours till forty o'clock in a week” in 1935 has established the international standard of working week — 40 hours as normal working hours. This standard some developed countries, for example, Fraction, under the national legislation have reduced till 39 o'clock in working week, and now it has passed for 35-hour working week. Overtime works according to certificates the ILO (the Recommendation № 116) are supposed only in certain cases and limits and are subject to additional payment.

Annual holidays paid for average earnings are established by Conventions the ILO №52 (1936) and № 132 (1970) according to which such holiday is given not less than three working weeks for every year works. In the experience on holiday it is set off both illness, and holiday on pregnancy and sorts. The convention № 14 “About weekly rest at the industrial enterprises” (1921) has established the weekly days off.

Supervision and the control

By convention No147 on the minimum norms in a merchant marine fleet it is established that each Member of the Organization ratifying the present Convention, undertakes to carry out effective jurisdiction or the control over the courts registered in its territory, in the relation:

– Norms of safety, including norms concerning qualification, durations of working hours and crew completion;

Berbout-charter-party

By convention No147 on the minimum norms in a merchant marine fleet it is established that the flag state undertakes to carry out effective jurisdiction or the control over the courts registered in its territory, concerning working conditions and living conditions onboard a vessel.

The system decision of this question will demand the good analysis and preparation of offers on change of the national legislation.

The statistical reporting

Convention No134 on accident prevention covers the accidents occurred to the seaman in an operating time or connected with it. Competent bodies should take measures for that maintenance that the detailed statistical account and the analysis of the data about such accidents was carried out.

Feature of this account consists that along with the account of number, character, the reasons and consequences of accidents it is necessary to divide them on services onboard a vessel, for example: deck, machine, economic, and with instructions of a site of a vessel, for example: in the sea or in port.

Besides, the Convention demands, that competent authorities organised on the basis of this statistics working out of programs on accident prevention not only on each vessel, but also at federal level.

Sanitary rules and norms

Convention No 92 about premises for crew onboard courts establishes the requirements connected with construction, re-equipment and repair of courts.

On the statement the drawing of this vessel with instructions of placing and the general device of premises for crew is represented to competent authority.

Prior to the beginning of construction of premises for crew and before reorganisation or reconstruction of such premises on existing courts to competent authority detailed drawings and data concerning premises, arrangements of each space, placing of furniture and the equipment, an arrangement of ventilation, illumination and heating and sanitary devices are submitted for approval.

The convention demands, that in each case of changes of a premise for vessel or complaint crew from outside trade unions the competent authority examined a vessel and was convinced that premises for crew correspond to legislation requirements.

However, it is necessary to notice that operating sanitary rules for sea-crafts morally have become outdated. So in Convention No 133, on premises for crew onboard the courts, supplementing Convention No 92, additional requirements on metric area of premises and cabins for the personnel of courts, to metric area of dining rooms and acquisition by their refrigerators and other household appliances, metric area, quantity and equipment of premises for rest contain.

In connection with the above-stated, it is necessary to process corresponding sanitary rules and requirements under safety precautions for sea-crafts, and to issue them in the form of technical regulations.

Safety regulation at the international level

Trading navigation is one of the most adjustable branches and was one of the first branches which have applied the international standards in sphere of safety.

Recommendations about safety of navigation are developed at world level. As navigation is the international branch, it is necessary, that it was exposed to uniform regulation on such questions, as vessel construction standards, navigating rules, standards of qualification of crews.
