Excerpt from The International Seamen's Code: Note Addressed to the Governments of the States Members of the International Labour Organisation by the International Labour Office

At the Second Session of the International Labour Conference held at Genoa, 15th June to 10th July, 1920, a Resolution was adopted requesting the International Labour Office to undertake the necessary investigations for establishing an International Seamen's Code.

The same Session of the Conference also adopted a Recommendation requesting each of the Members of the International Labour Organisation to embody in a Seamen's Code all its laws and regulations relating to seamen in their activities as such.

It is in order to facilitate the accomplishment of these two tasks that the present volume has been prepared.

Its object, firstly, is to inform Governments of the progress which the International Labour Office has already made in the prosecution of the investigations entrusted to it, and in the systematic preparation of a draft International Seamen's Code. Secondly, it puts at the disposal of Governments, in the most convenient form, all the information collected up to the present, which may be useful to them in the codification of all their national laws or regulations relating to seamen.

With this object in view, all the documents bearing on the question of establishing an International Seamen's Code have been collected in this volume in chronological order, as follows: -

(1) The questionnaire addressed to Governments before the Genoa Session of the International Labour Conference.
