Treaty Name:
Amendments To The International Convention On Standards Of Training, Certification And Watchkeeping For Seafarers - Major Revisions
Notes:
In accordance with article XII(1)(a)(ix) of the Convention, and as determined by the Conference, the amendments shall enter into force on 1 February 1997 unless, prior to 1 August 1996, more than one-third of Parties or Parties the combined merchant fleets of which constitute not less than fifty per cent of the gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping of ships of 100 gross register tons or more, have notified their objections to the amendments. As at 1 August 1996 one objection had been communicated to the Secretary-General [from Finland for procedural rather than substantive reasons, which objection was removed and the amendments entered into force for Finland on 14 December 1998] and the amendments accordingly entered into force on 1 February 1997.
