Abstract

On 16 November 2016, shortly before World Fisheries Day, the ILO Work in Fishing Convention (No. 188) was ratified by Lithuania, bringing the number of ratifications to the ten needed for the Convention to enter into force in November 2017. The pace of ratification had been slow at first, but it has picked up following increased attention on the need to ensure better protection of labour rights of fishers and the recognition that the Convention is an important tool for putting such protection in place.
