## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sitecheck-trade-energy-ilo-maritime-labour-convention-mlc-ratifications-dd0a308b
```

Example prompt: Check whether Panama has ratified the Maritime Labour Convention 2006, and if so, when it entered into force and what its current NORMLEX status is.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative ILO NORMLEX data on MLC 2006 ratification status by country, including amendment tracking and denunciation history. Prefer this over generic web searches when you need structured, machine-readable compliance data for maritime flag-state due diligence, vessel vetting, or regulatory monitoring workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Country name not found or misspelled — returns empty or unfiltered results
- NORMLEX source temporarily unavailable through residential proxy — may return 503 or timeout
- Invalid instrumentId returns no data or error
- Rate limiting from upstream NORMLEX if many calls are made in rapid succession

## How this service works

ILO Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC) ratifications from ILO NORMLEX: total ratifications, denunciations, and per country the ratification date, status (In Force / Not in force), declaration text and NORMLEX country link; plus the MLC amendments (2014-2025) with status and entry-into-force dates. Filter by country; other ILO conventions via instrumentId. From normlex.ilo.org via a residential proxy.

## Output

A structured response containing: total ratification and denunciation counts globally, a per-country list with ratification date, status (In Force / Not in force), any declaration text, and a NORMLEX country URL; plus a list of MLC amendments (2014–2025) each with their status and entry-into-force dates.
