dc.descriptionThe brochure presents the outcomes of the regional technical seminar on safety, working conditions and IUU fishing for the West Central Gulf of Guinea. The meeting was organized by the FAO, the Apostleship of the Sea and the Fisheries Committee for the West Central Gulf of Guinea (FCWC), in October 2019 in Accra, Ghana. The objectives of the seminar were to identify and discuss measures and actions to increase awareness on the protection of human rights in the fishing sector along with the main international legal frameworks covering the issue; promote increased cooperation among responsible international agencies like FAO, IMO, ILO and UNODC and related regional and national authorities; increase political commitment and the development of regional/national actions and measures to fight labour abuses and IUU fishing in the fishing sector; and identify possible ways of inter‐agency collaboration and future actions by concerned stakeholders. Participants were experts from the West Central Gulf of Guinea region (Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria) on matters of fisheries, labour, safety, human trafficking, human rights and small-scale fisheries. In total 45 specialists from faith-based organizations, trade unions, government agencies and international organizations (ILO, IMO, UNODC) participated in the meeting and adopted the Accra Call for Action.
