The Brussels convention of 1957 never entered into force.
In January 2002 the IMO (International Maritime Organization) decided to amend the 1965 Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic (FAL convention), to include standards and recommended practices for dealing with stowaways. The standards and recommended practices for stowaways are based on the Guidelines on the Allocation of Responsibilities to Seek the Successful Resolution of Stowaway Cases, adopted in 1997, which set out the basic principles to be applied in stowaway cases. The 2002 amendments entered into force on May 1st 2003 and are the first binding regulations concerning stowaways.
