Guideline to undertake a comparative analysis of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188) and national laws, regulations or other measures

These guidelines propose an approach a Government may take to determine the extent to which its laws and regulations would need to be adjusted or complemented to meet the requirements of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188). Undertaking a comparative or “gap” analysis is the first step towards the ratification of the Convention. The analysis involves a detailed legal analysis of national laws, regulations or other measures which are intended to give effect to the provisions of the Convention, and careful examination to determine where changes are needed to amend or otherwise adjust national laws or regulations.
