Health Security for Ship Crew in The Framework under the Maritime Labor Convention 2006

Abstract  According to the World Health Organization in 2007, peoplechr('39')s vulnerability to severe, rapid and new threats to their health security must be reduced. Because most people today feel insecure about worries about their daily lives, it is essential to create a new environment in which health security becomes a basic concern for all. Meanwhile, the marine crew needs special attention due to the difficult working conditions and the unity of their work and living environment. In this regard, the International Labor Organization, with the ratification of the Maritime Labor Convention 2006, which entered into force in 2013, used international labor standards to harmonize these standards with the concerns and needs of the shipchr('39')s crew. Article 4 of the Convention addresses the issue of health protection for shipchr('39')s crew. In this article, after examining the concept of health security and its place in international regulations, we intend to address this concept in maritime work. Since the safe world in the face of threats to health security requires the cooperation of all countries and relevant agencies, we are going to analyze state’s commitments in this regard and available guarantee in the case of breach of obligations.
