International labour standards

instruments drawn up by the ILOs constituents
(governments, employers and workers) setting
out basic principles and rights at work
 The intent of such standards is to establish a
worldwide minimum level of protection from
inhumane labour practices through the adoption
and implementation of said measures.
International labour standards
 Labour Standards are drawn during the ILOs Annual International
Labour Conference.
 Labour Standards are either in the form of
 Conventions: Which are legally binding international treaties that
may be ratified by member States
 Recommendations: Providing more detailed guidelines on how it
could be applied.
 Once a standard is adopted, member States need to submit them to
their competent authority (normally the parliament) for
