Welcome to the ILO's international labour standards (ILS) website. International labour standards take the form of conventions and recommendations and cover a broad range of subjects concerning work, employment, social security, social policy and related human rights. The application of ILS is regularly examined by the ILO's supervisory bodies -- the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations and the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards. Representation and complaint procedures can be initiated against member States that fail to comply with conventions they have ratified. A special procedure -- the Committee on Freedom of Association -- reviews complaints concerning violations of freedom of association, whether or not a member State has ratified the relevant conventions.
