3 WHAT IS MEANT BY INTERNATIONAL LABOUR STANDARDS International labour standards are legal instruments adopted by the ILO s constituents (governments, employers and workers) setting out basic principles and rights at work. They are either conventions, which are legally binding international treaties that may be ratified by member states, or recommendations, which serve as non-binding guidelines. A convention lays down the basic principles to be implemented by ratifying countries, while a related recommendation supplements the convention by providing more detailed guidelines on how it could be applied. 17 May
4 ILO REPORTING OBLIGATIONS Conventions and Recommendations are drawn up by representatives of governments, employers and workers and are adopted at the ILO's annual International Labour Conference. Once a standard is adopted, member states are required under the ILO Constitution to submit them to their competent authority (normally the parliament) for consideration. In the case of conventions, this means consideration for ratification. If it is ratified, a convention generally comes into force for that country one year after the date of ratification. Ratifying countries commit themselves to applying the convention in national law and practice and reporting on its application at regular intervals. Members are required to report on the 8 Core and the 4 Governance Conventions every 3 years. All other Conventions (what is termed technical Conventions) every 5 years depending on the date of ratification. The following attachment outlines the process of adoption of an international standard 17 May
