Who developed the SOLAS Convention?
Correct Answer:
The International Maritime Organization (IMO)
Explanation:
The SOLAS Convention was developed by the International Maritime Organization, the United Nations’ specialized agency charged with maritime safety and security. SOLAS sets the minimum safety standards for ships, covering areas like lifesaving appliances, firefighting, navigation, and structural integrity. The IMO drafts and updates these rules through international conferences and amendments, and member states implement them in national laws. While the UN provides the broader framework, SOLAS specifically comes from the IMO. Other organizations like the WTO and ILO deal with trade and labor issues, respectively, and are not the bodies that created SOLAS.
