Presentation of the Declaration

international organization Labor adopted on 18 June 1998 in Geneva the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the Mechanism for its Implementation. In doing so, it would like to find a solution to the problems of the globalization of the world economy, which since 1994 has been at the center of numerous discussions within the Organization itself. Although globalization is a factor in economic growth, and economic growth is an indispensable prerequisite for social progress, the fact remains that it does not in itself guarantee this progress, but must be accompanied by a certain set of minimum social rules based on shared values ​​that allow participants in this process to claim their rightful share of the wealth they helped create.

The Declaration attempts to reconcile the desire to stimulate the efforts of all countries to ensure that economic progress is accompanied by social progress, with the desire to fully take into account the diversity of conditions, opportunities and priorities of each country.

The first step in this direction was taken in Copenhagen in 1995, when participants in the World Summit at highest level in the interests social development Heads of State and Government made specific commitments and endorsed a Plan of Action concerning "fundamental rights of workers": the prohibition of forced and child labor, freedom of association, freedom to form trade unions and bargain collectively, equality in remuneration for work of equal value and non-discrimination in employment and classes. Conference of the World trade organization at the ministerial level, held in Singapore in 1996, was the second step in this direction. States reaffirmed their commitment to comply with internationally recognized core labor standards, recalled that the ILO is the institution competent to develop and enforce these standards, and reaffirmed their support for ILO action to promote the application of these standards.

The adoption of the Declaration was the third step. It makes an important contribution to the achievement of the goal stated in paragraph 54 (b) of the Program of Action adopted by the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen, which is to ensure and promote respect for the fundamental rights of workers by requiring States that have ratified relevant ILO conventions, fully apply them, and from other states - to take into account the principles enshrined in them.

The existing control mechanism already makes it possible to ensure the application of the conventions by the states that have ratified them. As for the rest of the states, the Declaration brings a new important element. First, it states that ILO member States, even if they have not ratified these conventions, have an obligation to observe "in good faith and in accordance with the Constitution the principles relating to the fundamental rights which are the subject of these conventions". Then, and this is the first aspect of the implementation mechanism contained in the annex to the Declaration, it aims to achieve this goal through the application of the unique statutory procedure available to the ILO, which allows each year to require member States that have not ratified the fundamental conventions to provide reports on progress made in the application of the principles set forth in these conventions.

Finally, the Declaration takes it one step further by solemnly proclaiming the Organization's commitment to use to the fullest extent all its budgetary resources and all its authority to assist its Member States in achieving the goals set by the World Summit in Copenhagen. This commitment will be embodied in the global report, which is the second aspect of the Declaration's implementation mechanism, contained in its annex. Global report will simultaneously provide an overall picture of the progress made during the previous four years, both in countries that have ratified the fundamental conventions and in countries that have not ratified them, it will provide a basis for assessing the effectiveness of actions taken during the previous period, and will also serve as a starting point for plans to assist countries in the future.

By adopting this Declaration, the ILO provides a solution to the problems confronting it the international community, since it establishes a social minimum at the global level in response to the realities created by the process of globalization. The Organization can therefore now enter the new century with optimism.

History of creation, development and tasks of the ILO

Established in 1919 on the basis of Treaty of Versailles as a structural unit League of Nations. It was founded on the initiative and with the active participation of the Western Social Democracy. The ILO Charter was developed by the Labor Commission of the Peace Conference and became part of the XIII Treaty of Versailles . The need to create the ILO was determined by the following reasons:

    The first is political.

The reason for the creation of the ILO was the revolution in Russia and a number of other European countries. In order to resolve the contradictions that arise in society in an explosive, violent, revolutionary way, the organizers of the ILO decided to create an international organization designed to promote social progress worldwide, establish and maintain social peace between different sectors of society, and help resolve emerging social problems in an evolutionary peaceful way. .

    The second is social.

The working and living conditions of the workers were difficult and unacceptable. They were subjected to cruel exploitation, their social protection was practically absent. Social development lagged far behind economic development, which hampered the development of society .

    The third is economic.

The desire of individual countries to improve the situation of workers caused an increase in costs, an increase in the cost of production, which made it difficult to compete and required the solution of social problems in most countries. . The Preamble notes that "the failure of any country to provide workers with human conditions of work is an obstacle to other peoples who wish to improve the condition of workers in their countries" .

    The first CEO and one of the main initiators of the creation is a French politician Albert Thomas. The current CEO is Juan Somavia.

IN 1934 The United States and the USSR became members of the ILO. IN 1940 In 1999, the headquarters of the ILO was temporarily moved to Montreal, Canada due to the Second World War. As a result, the continuity of the Organization's activities was maintained. IN 1940 year USSR suspended its membership in the ILO, renewed in 1954. Since that time, Belarus and Ukraine have become members of the ILO .

    In 1944, the International Labor Conference in Philadelphia defined the tasks of the ILO in the postwar period. It adopted the Philadelphia Declaration, which defined these tasks. The Declaration became an annex and integral part ILO statute. The government of the USSR did not accept the invitation of the ILO to participate in the conference. IN 1945 year the ILO returned to Geneva .

The goals and objectives of the ILO are proclaimed in its Charter. The work of the ILO is based on a tripartite representation of workers, employers and governments - tripartism.

The ILO is one of the oldest and most representative international organizations. Created under the League of Nations, it survived the latter and since 1946 has become the first specialized agency of the UN. If at the time of its creation 42 states participated in it, then in 2000 there were 174 of them. .

Structure of the ILO and its founding documents

A distinctive feature of the ILO is tripartism, its tripartite structure, within which negotiations are carried out between governments, organizations of workers and employers. The delegates of these three groups are represented and confer on an equal footing at all levels of the Organization. .

The supreme body of the ILO is International Labor Conference where all ILO instruments are adopted. delegates International Conference are two representatives from the government and one each, respectively, from the most representative organizations of workers and employers of each participating State. The Governing Body of the ILO, also organized on a tripartite basis, is executive body ILO. The International Labor Office serves as the secretariat of the ILO. ILO accepts conventions And Recommendations on labor issues. In addition to conventions and recommendations, three declarations were adopted: 1944 year on the aims and objectives of the ILO (now included in ILO constitution), 1977 ILO Declaration on Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy, and 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Rights and Principles at Work. Conventions are subject to ratification by member countries and are international treaties that are binding upon ratification. Recommendations are not legally binding acts. Even if the state has not ratified a particular convention, it is bound by the fact of membership in the ILO and accession to its constitution according to the four fundamental principles in the world of work, enshrined in the ILO Declaration of 1998. These are the principles of freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining; prohibition of discrimination in labor relations; the eradication of forced labor; and the prohibition of child labor. These four principles are also devoted to eight ILO Conventions (respectively - Conventions No. 87 and 98; 100 and 111; 29 and 105; 138 and 182), called fundamental. These Conventions have been ratified by the vast majority of the world's states, and the ILO monitors their implementation with particular attention.

The ILO cannot enforce even ratified Conventions. However, there are mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of the Conventions and Recommendations by the ILO, the main essence of which is to investigate the circumstances of alleged violations of labor rights and give them international publicity in case of prolonged disregard of the ILO comments by the state party. This control is exercised by the ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations, the Governing Body Committee on Freedom of Association and the Conference Committee on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations.

In exceptional cases, in accordance with Article 33 of the ILO Constitution, the International Labor Conference may call on its members to exercise pressure on a state that is especially viciously violating international labor standards. In practice, this was done only once, in 2001, with respect to Myanmar, criticized for decades for using forced labor and refusing to cooperate with the ILO on this issue. As a result, a number of states applied against Myanmar economic sanctions and she was compelled to take a number of steps towards the ILO.

Earlier, the International Labor Organization (ILO) officially confirmed that Uzbekistan has stopped the use of child labor in the cotton fields. Speaking in September 2017 at a session of the UN General Assembly, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev promised to end forced labor in the country and reaffirmed his government's commitment to cooperation with the ILO.

Minister of Employment and labor relations In Uzbekistan, Sherzod Kudbiev, on the eve of the cotton harvest, which begins in September, said that the main factor in attracting people to the cotton harvest will be economic interest. In this regard, the authorities increased the wages of raw material pickers, took on the costs of transport, accommodation and food.
