The IMO Secretary-General has kindly provided a supporting message on the occasion of the closure of the UK Charity, Human Rights at Sea.
“Well-being is a fundamental human right of seafarers. Their right to a safe and decent workplace, repatriation, protection in case of abandonment, and fair treatment must be upheld. Human Rights at Sea has, over the past decade, made a substantial contribution in advocating for those who live, work or are in dire condition at sea. The work to uphold human rights for seafarers is not over - and will continue.”
ENDS.
