This toolkit has been created to support economic employers and cargo owners to fulfil their obligations to seafarers on human rights due diligence. It is a joint initiative of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
Caralb signs the Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change. Despite significant efforts by international organizations, governments, industry associations, labor unions, NGOs and individual companies including the adoption on 1 December 2020 by the UN General Assembly of a resolution on International cooperation to address challenges faced by seafarers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to support global supply chains, the issue is still far from resolved.
