A—7a

Further having regard to the recent social and political changes that have come over Asia, this Conference strongly recommends that the Governing Body should consider what steps should be taken to ensure equitable and adequate representation to the countries of Asia in the Governing Body and its Committees. APPENDIX No. 14—RESOLUTION CONCERNING FIELD OFFICES IN ASIA Whereas it is desirable for the purpose of facilitating economic development, increased productivity and social progress, that the experience of all other countries in the fields of technical training, employment service techniques and other aspects of man-power should be placed at the disposal of all Asian countries, This Asian Regional Conference Welcomes the action already taken by the 1.L.0. to establish a Field Office in Asia and Recommends to the Governing Body to give consideration to the feasibility of establishing at an early date additional such offices in Asia in order to fulfil the foregoing objective. APPENDIX No. 15—RESOLUTION CONCERNING ASIAN SEAFARERS This Conference, having regard to the resolution concerning the seafarers adopted at the Preparatory Asian Regional Labour Conference at New Delhi in 1947, recommends to the Governing Body to consider the need for holding at an early date a Tripartite Maritime Conference of Asian countries and other countries employing Asian seamen and to direct the Office to prepare a report on the conditions of employment of Asian seafarers. APPENDIX No. 16—RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE INTENSIFICATION OF THE ASIAN WORK OF THE 1.L.0. Considering that the Preparatory Asian Regional Conference had unanimously adopted a resolution concerning the intensification of the Asian work of the 1.L.0., Considering that the said resolution has not yet been fully implemented, Considering that the need for very early action on the clauses of that resolution has become more urgent now, The Conference reiterates the said resolution and requests the Governing Body to give immediate consideration to such parts of the resolution as have not yet been fully implemented and particularly to the constitution of an Asian Advisory Committee and the establishment of a small co-ordinating secretariat to facilitate the implementation of the programme outlined in that resolution. APPENDIX No. 17—RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME The Conference welcomes the technical assistance programme of the 1.L.0. and recommends that vigorous action should be taken in co-operation with the United Nations and the other specialized agencies for the speedy implementation of the objectives underlying this programme.
