    RISK FACTORS

    Risk factorStatusRelevance to risk of human rights abuses
    Flag of convenience
    (International Transport Workers Federation)    		NoFlags of Convenience are connected to the occurrence of human trafficking and forced labor in fishing. Vessels registered to Flag of Convenience states may lack a legitimate connection to the flag state and may be subject to less rigorous management and oversight by the flag state.
    Active yellow or red card for failing to tackle illegal fishing
    (European Union)    		NoThe European Union gives countries yellow and red cards for failing in their requirements under international law to take action against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. There is evidence linking IUU fishing to an increased risk of human trafficking and forced labor on board fishing vessels.
