Définition

  • The International Maritime Organization (IMO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, is an important monitor and facilitator of global trade. As of 2010, 169 member-states participate in the work of the organization, together with 59 intergovernmental organizations, which have concluded agreements of cooperation with IMO. Furthermore, 78 nongovernmental organizations have been granted consultative status with IMO. IMO is based in London with approximately 300 international staff operating under the IMO mission “to promote safe, secure, environmentally sound, efficient and sustainable shipping through cooperation.” The IMO was created by an international conference in Geneva in 1948, and the IMO Convention entered into force in 1958.
