The International Labour Organization (ILO) was founded to promote social justice as
the foundation of international peace through the articulation and supervision of
fundamental human rights in the world of work. This objective is always permeated by
an underlying concern to foster an economic environment conducive to the human
being’s aspiration to pursue both spiritual development and material well-being through
work. From this perspective, the ILO regards trafficking both as a human rights violation
and as a degrading misuse of human resources resulting in undignified and unproductive
work.
Throughout its standards-related work, the ILO has dealt with the issue of human
trafficking in relation to forced labour, the abuse of migrant workers, discrimination at
work (particularly where certain sections of society, such as women or indigenous
peoples, are disproportionately affected), and as one of the worst forms of child labour.
The ILO stands for firm prosecution of child traffickers and firmly supports state- or civil
society-sponsored institutions to prevent child trafficking, withdraw children from
exploitation and restore their prospects of becoming responsible and productive citizens.
The ILO views the result of trafficking as an assault on human dignity and a denial of
a person's opportunity both to make the most of his/her resources and to contribute to
the economic development of his or her nation. The types of exploitation suffered by
victims of trafficking are the antithesis of “full, productive and freely chosen employment”.
This is even more the case for children, where immediate exploitation is aggravated by
a denial of the child's rights to development that severely limits his/her potential to
become a productive adult.
The ILO has for a long time dealt with child trafficking through its Forced Labour
Convention (No. 29), that aims to eradicate “all work or service which is exacted from
any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered
himself voluntarily”. In its 2001 report to the International Labour Conference, the ILO
Committee of Experts invited all States Parties to Forced Labour Conventions to report
on measures taken to suppress trafficking in persons. The ILO Committee of Experts, an
independent body of legal experts representing worldwide legal expertise, examines
government reports on the application of these Conventions, together with any
observations of employers’ and workers’ organizations, on a biennial basis.
Since 1999, the combat against trafficking has been reinforced by ILO Worst Forms of
Child Labour Convention (No.182) and Recommendation (No.190). This powerful instrument
confirms child trafficking as a practice similar to slavery and calls for its immediate
elimination.
