Seafarers' rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements that individuals working on ships have while at sea. These rights cover various aspects, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to medical care. Organizations like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) play crucial roles in establishing and promoting these rights. Additionally, seafarers are entitled to repatriation, meaning they should be returned to their home country after their contract ends or in case of emergencies. They also have the right to join trade unions and seek legal assistance if their rights are violated, ensuring their voices are heard in the maritime industry.
