1.1: Legal Framework

Contribute to the legal framework on trade, finance, environment, human rights and labour by elaborating and promoting international labour standards aimed at making sure that economic growth and development go along with the creation of decent work.

Other Information:

Achieving the goal of decent work in the globalized economy requires action at the international level. The world community is responding to this challenge in part by developing international legal instruments on trade, finance, environment, human rights and labour. The ILO contributes to this legal framework by elaborating and promoting international labour standards aimed at making sure that economic growth and development go along with the creation of decent work. The ILO's unique tripartite structure ensures that these standards are backed by governments, employers, and workers alike. International labour standards therefore establish the basic minimum social standards agreed upon by all actors in the global economy.
