The applicability of International Labor Standards in the DRC

For some time now, all humanity has recognized that social justice is the best way to ensure lasting peace and eliminate poverty in our society. Thus, at its 320th session held in March 2014, the Governing Body of the International Labour Office decided to include a normative question entitled Decent work on the agenda of the 105th session (June 2016) of the International Labour Conference. In application of article 39 paragraph 1, of the Rules of the Conference, the Office prepared a preliminary report reviewing the legislation and practice of various countries, which was sent to member states, together with a questionnaire, in April 2015. As the world's only multilateral organization with a tripartite structure, the ILO is an ideal benchmark for compliance with the rules promoting decent work. Humanity's priority today is to ensure that every worker is placed in a decent situation that respects his or her human dignity.
