This paper deals with the legal problems concerning the seafarers' working, living and social conditions and the activities of the International Labour Organization, analysing the attainments of the Maritime Labour Convention ILO 186. The particular consideration is given to the issuing procedure for the Maritime Labour Certificate and the Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance as well as to the system inspecting the permanent compliance with the standards prescribed by the Maritime Labour Convention. The position of Croatia in the process of adapting international commitments and bringing them into conformity with national legal conditions is also analysed, together with its role as an active partner in solving the seafarers' working and social rights issues. It is important to say that the Republic of Croatia needs to ratify the Maritime Labour Convention ILO 186 as well as to bring into conformity the national regulations with the international sources according to the requirements of the maritime industry and the increased demand to provide decent working and living conditions for seafarers on board a ship.
