The International Labour Conference has adopted a large

number of international labour Conventions and accompanying

Recommendations directly concerned with OSH issues, as well as

elaborated many codes of practice and technical publications

applicable to shipbreaking. They represent a body of definitions,

principles, obligations, duties and rights, as well as technical guid-

ance reflecting the consensual views of the ILO’s tripartite

constituents from its 177 member States1 on most aspects of OSH.
