		Flags of convenience (FOC) typically pay little heed to International Labour Organisation conventions and recommendations nor fully abide by IMO conventions pertaining to safety and environmental issues.

	IMO Standards - Panama's Role
		The importance of maritime security to Panama and, by extension, to international commerce as a whole, is obvious. The Canal is one of the great pinch-points of the global trading network – 80 short kilometres through which millions of tons of cargo, thousands of passengers and thousands of ships pass every year.
		I also note that Panama is not yet a Party to the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation. With the stress currently being placed on maritime security, I would strongly urge you to correct this.
		Panama took action in mid 1990’s to strengthen the professionalism of its staff assigned to cover IMO work in London and has maintained that level of competence ever since.

	Signing of the U.S.-Panama Ship Boarding Agreement to Support the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI)
		If a U.S. or Panamanian flag vessel is suspected of carrying proliferation-related cargo, either one of the parties to this agreement can request of the other to confirm the nationality of the ship in question and, if needed, authorize the boarding, search and possible detention of the vessel and its cargo.
		Panama is the world's largest ship registry, and its signing of the boarding agreement demonstrates a commitment by Panama to engender greater confidence and security in its flag registering.
		The combination of Panama, Liberia and PSI core partner countries means that now almost 50 percent of the total commercial shipping of the world measured in dead weight tonnage is subject to the rapid action consent procedures for boarding, search, and seizure.

		Summary: At the very core of Washington's diplomatic and political consciousness is an issue-the Panama Canal-that is providing a severe and illuminating test of America's post-Vietnam global intentions and of the U.S. government's post-Watergate capacity to compose a responsible foreign policy.
		Signed for Panama by a French commission agent at Secretary of State John Hay's home two hours before the arrival of the official commission Panama had sent to negotiate, that agreement granted the United States "in perpetuity the use, occupation and control" of a ten-mile-wide zone to build, run and protect a canal.
