Towards freedom at sea: handbook for the detection of forced labour in commercial fishing
PrintThis handbook provides consolidated guidance on the detection of forced labor among fishers. The handbook is aimed at both state authorities and at non-state actors directly engaged with fishers or otherwise concerned with labor and human rights in fishing. The Handbook is relevant for fisheries worldwide, but the tools it contains will require adaptation to each country’s legal frameworks and fishing industry characteristics. Part I of the handbook describes the broad legal and conceptual frameworks for understanding the characteristics of forced labor in fishing and Part II provides guidance on how forced labor detection can be integrated into the extant compliance efforts.
