The ILO Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No 188) was designed to ensure that fishers worldwide have access to decent working and living conditions. Along with an official accompanying recommendation, it was adopted in June 2007, after years of difficult negotiation. This landmark convention is applicable to all types of commercial fishing and seeks to provide acceptable minimum standards that protect them in all aspects of their work, in what is a highly dangerous and mostly unregulated profession.
