Promoting Implementation of ILO Standards in Pacific Island Countries

ILS are legal instruments drawn up by the ILO’s constituents (governments, employers’, and workers’). ILS are globally acknowledged benchmarks developed to protect workers, set minimum working conditions, and for effective labour market governance. They serve as a minimum floor for fair competition in an increasingly globalised economy.

ILS provide policy guidance on how to address some of the most pressing human rights breaches, and key challenges in national labour market.

ILO is committed to assist ILO member States to strengthen their implementation of ratified ILS, institutional capacity building, and foster awareness on the importance of ILS.
