Description
ILO Standards aim to safeguard fundamental human rights in the labour arena, including the prohibition of forced labour and child labour, preventing discrimination in the workplace, and defending freedom of association. These standards have been ratified by most countries, and their implementation is ensured by the far-reaching supervisory mechanism at international level. The authors trace the history of the ILO, analyze its mechanisms and procedures, and detail its standards for fundamental human rights. They also discuss the recent practices of states, and consider world-wide trends in the observance of these rights.
