| dc.description.abstract | This article addresses the question of whether seafarers, regardless of the ordinary international jurisdictions in the country of ship registration or at the domicile of their employer, have a jurisdiction in Switzerland at their disposal to be able to enforce their rights effectively. The significance of maritime trade routes cannot be overstated, and demand continues to be strong. At the same time, many seafarers suffer from precarious working conditions, being often unable to enforce their wage demands and other claims. A key problem is the registration of vessels in flag of convenience (FOC) states which generally lack an effective judicial system or where access to justice may be constrained. Many shipping companies that profit greatly from maritime transport are domiciled in Switzerland, allowing the conclusion that jurisdiction in Switzerland can be established by piercing the corporate veil or, subsidiarily, asserting jurisdiction by necessity. Reasons that justify the registration in an FOC state are hardly apparent and the liability of a benefiting Swiss group company and thus a place of jurisdiction in Switzerland can well be justified. In any case, Switzerland has enshrined the jurisdiction by necessity in positive law and a too restrictive handling by Swiss courts could violate the human right of free access to justice. | de_CH |
