RISK FACTORS
| Risk factor | Status | Relevance to risk of human rights abuses |
|---|---|---|
| Flag of convenience (International Transport Workers Federation) | Flags 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) | The 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. | |
| Failure to ratify key treaties and international labor conventions | Ratifying key treaties and international labor conventions indicates a country’s commitment to uphold international standards. | |
| Port State Measures Agreement | Ratified | |
| ILO C188 Work in Fishing Convention | Ratified | |
| ILO Core Labor Conventions | Ratified |
