The Impact of International Conventions on the Legal Safeguards for Seafarers in Tanzania: an Analytical Study
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: International conventions aim to protect seafarers' rights globally and in maritime nations like Tanzania. This paper investigates the impact of these conventions in Tanzania, focusing on their implementation and effectiveness. Existing research lacks focus on the Tanzanian context, highlighting the need for further studies on local implementation and the experiences of Tanzanian seafarers. This paper examines the impact of international conventions on the protection of seafarers' legal rights in Tanzania. It explores the significance of international maritime laws and conventions in safeguarding the rights and welfare of seafarers, particularly in the context of Tanzania's maritime industry. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant conventions, legislation, and case studies, this study assesses the extent to which these legal frameworks have been implemented and enforced to ensure the rights of seafarers are upheld. The findings offer insights into the effectiveness of international conventions in promoting maritime safety, labor standards, and social justice for seafarers operating within Tanzanian waters.
