| Currently, there are
no labour standards with which all nation states must comply.
However, nations can theoretically be held accountable in
the court of law should they ratify a Convention or Recommendation
of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and then fail
to enforce it.
"The ILO's Conventions are international
treaties, subject to ratification by ILO member States.
Its Recommendations are non-binding instruments -- typically
dealing with the same subjects as Conventions -- which set
out guidelines which can orient national policy and action.
Both forms are intended to have a concrete impact on working
conditions and practices in every country of the world."
