ABSTRACT
This study investigates the role of international labour standards in promoting global worker welfare, focusing on the efforts of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in improving labour conditions worldwide. The research explores the ILO’s strategies, voluntary adoption of global labour norms, and the challenges of enforcing these standards across diverse economic and political contexts. Using a qualitative analysis of existing literature and policy documents, the study examines the ILO’s impact on member states and the broader international labour landscape. Results highlight the importance of global collaboration, the need for establishing minimum labour standards, and the significance of promoting social justice and equality. The research contributes to understanding how international law can enhance cross-border enforcement mechanisms, protect vulnerable workers, and address issues like modern slavery and forced labour. It also emphasizes the need for continuous updates to labour standards to adapt to evolving social, economic, and technological changes. The implications of these findings suggest that a more robust and adaptable international framework is essential for improving labour welfare, fostering sustainable development, and ensuring the fair treatment of all workers, especially in the context of globalization. Future research may focus on developing more effective enforcement strategies and expanding the scope of ILO’s influence in global labour markets.
