Salvamento en el Mar : Una guía sobre los principios y prácticas aplicables a refugiados y migrantes

This leaflet has been prepared jointly by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS). It is intended for masters, ship owners, government authorities, insurance companies, and other interested parties involved in rescue at sea situations. It provides guidance on relevant legal provisions, and on practical procedures to ensure the prompt disembarkation of survivors of rescue operations, and measures to meet their specific needs, particularly in the case of refugees and asylum-seekers. Updates the 2006 version.
