A24. What is meant by the term “Member”?

The MLC, 2006 like other ILO legal instruments uses the terms “Member” or “each Member” throughout the MLC, 2006. These terms are used by the ILO to refer to countries that are Members of the ILO. In the context of this Convention, a reference to “Member” or “Each Member” should be understood as referring to countries that have ratified the Convention, unless the Convention clearly refers to “any Member of the Organization” (as in paragraph 2 of Article XV, for example).
