The Right

The International Labor Organization has become one of the most active of all the international institutions of the post-war period. According to the treaty of Versailles, international labor conferences, composed of delegates from countries which are members of the International Labor Organization, are to meet annually to consider and adopt recommendations and conventions applicable to labor problems and conditions throughout the world. The subjects for a number of possible agreements are suggested in the Versailles treaty, and include the right of association of laborers, the establishment of the eight-hour day, the adoption of the weekly rest period, the abolition of child labor, and various related matters. In drafting conventions and recommendations, the conferences are to be guided by a number of principles laid down in the Versailles treaty, and are asked to recognize that “differences of climate, habit and customs, of economic opportunity and industrial tradition, make strict uniformity in the conditions of labor difficult of immediate attainment.”Economic difficulties alone were recognized, at first, by the makers of the treaty of Versailles as standing in the way of the attainment of “strict uniformity in the conditions of labor.” It was, however, soon brought to the attention of the Peace Conference that governments might not all prove equally competent constitutionally to deal with labor problems, and that some might prove totally lacking in legal capacity to adhere to the proposed labor conventions. This legal limitation was felt to be especially likely to arise in the case of federal governments, in many of which all matters of labor legislation are reserved to the member-states, and hence are beyond the legislative powers of the central governments. It was predicted by some that these legal difficulties would prove more stubborn obstacles to the uniform regulation of labor matters than differences in climate, habits and customs, and economic opportunity.

Global Norms

This article examines how working children understand the morality of child labor. Drawing on interviews with children in Bolivia and Ecuador, I find that children call child labor moral when it helps them manage their social ties. Working children do not think of themselves as individuals needing care (per international organizations like the International Labor Organization) or as a cultural group needing recognition (per the “working children’s movements”). Rather, children describe themselves as morally upright members of intimate networks. I conclude by introducing the concept of relational dignity.

The issue of domestic worker has not become governor of Indonesia policy priorities. This can be seen from the lack of a structure for the comprehensive and lack of regulations that provide solutions, as well as lack of supporting structure of the implementation. The Act of Manpower is not regulating specifically on the protection of domestic workers, especially for children. International Labor Organization Convention Number 189 concerning Decent Works for Domestic Worker, regulates the protection of domestic workers all over the world, however, Indonesia has not ratified this convention yet. This research is normative legal research that using statute and conceptual approach. Data collection techniques used in this study is literature study. The results of the study indicate that the regulation on the protection of child laborers employed as a domestic worker in Indonesia has not been regulated separately so that in the case of legal protection is not sufficient, in the case of law enforcement in case of violation of the law on the rights of the child. The urgency for the Government to immediately ratify ILO Convention No. 189 on Decent Work of Domestic Workers in order to establish a standard of employment for domestic workers as an effort to realize protection for domestic workers in general and for child domestic workers in particular. It is important for government to carry out the National Action Plan for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor (RAN-WFCL) to prevent and eliminate the worst forms of child labor. Isu tentang Pekerja Rumah Tangga (PRT) belum menjadi suatu prioritas kebijakan pemerintah Indonesia. Hal ini terlihat dari belum adanya suatu struktur regulasi yang komprehensif dan solutif, disertai struktur pendukung dalam tataran implementasinya. Ketentuan Undang-Undang tentang Ketenagakerjaan belum mengatur secara khusus mengenai perlindungan terhadap pembantu rumah tangga khususnya bagi anak-anak. Namun telah ada konvensi internasional yang mengatur secara khusus tentang Pekerja Rumah Tangga (PRT) yaitu Konvensi ILO Nomor 189 tentang Kerja Layak Pembantu Rumah Tangga. Konvensi ini merupakan perlindungan bagi pembantu rumah tangga di seluruh dunia. Namun, hingga saat ini Indonesia belum meratifikasi konvensi tersebut. Jenis Penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian hukum normatif. Jenis pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kepustakaan. Hasil Penelitian menunjukan bahwa pengaturan tentang perlindungan pekerja anak yang dipekerjakan sebagai pembantu rumah tangga di Indonesia belum diatur secara khusus sehingga dalam hal perlindungan hukum belum memadai. Urgensi bagi Pemerintah untuk segera meratifikasi Konvensi ILO Nomor 189 tentang Kerja Layak PRT dalam rangka menetapkan suatu standard ketenagakerjaan bagi PRT sebagai upaya mewujudkan perlindungan bagi PRT secara umum dan bagi PRT Anak pada khususnya. Upaya Pemerintah dalam mewujudkan perlindungan terhadap PRT Anak adalah dengan melakukan Rencana Aksi Nasional Penghapusan Bentuk-Bentuk Pekerjaan Terburuk Bagi Anak (RAN-BPTA) yang bertujuan untuk mencegah dan menghapus bentuk-bentuk pekerjaan terburuk untuk anak.

The Right

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a vital part of the right to health. While the International Labor Organization (ILO) historically treated OSH as an entirely technical matter, it has increasingly been influenced by a human rights agenda. The ILO has responded by adopting and promoting a large number of international standards—in the form of conventions, recommendations, and codes of practice that result in protection against dangers at work. These standards combat specific risks, guide the establishment of health protection across industries, provide guidance for dealing with HIV and AIDS in the workplace, help to set up systems of health protection, provide for how disabled workers can function, and design social security regimes. The ILO also provides practical help to prevent accidents and diseases at the workplace and to stop industrial accidents that kill and injure large numbers of workers—and that have a damaging influence on public health.

Sobre Todo

El entender la consulta como derecho ciudadano que conlleva el consentimiento previo e informado sobre temas que afectan a la ciudadanía, y sobre todo como derecho colectivo de los pueblos indígenas, incluidos los de México, no ha sido desarrollado hasta el momento. La intención de este trabajo es argumentar la necesidad del reconocimiento de este derecho y cómo en la práctica los pueblos indígenas han sido afectados en sus territorios al no ser consultados. En el mismo sentido, se hace un análisis que toma como referentes el Convenio 169 para Pueblos indígenas y tribales en países independientes, de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, y la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Finalmente se comparte una propuesta de consulta a pueblos indígenas.   ABSTRACT Understanding has not been developed to date regarding the right to consultation as a citizen right that implies prior and informed consent by citizens regarding issues affecting them, and in particular as a collective right of indigenous peoples, including the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The intention of this document is to argue the need for recognition of this right and to discuss how territorial rights of indigenous peoples have been affected in practice due to lack of consultation. In this same sense, an analysis is presented with references to the International Labor Organization (ILO) Agreement 169 on indigenous and tribal peoples in independent countries, and to Mexico’s Constitution. Finally, a proposal is presented regarding consultation of indigenous peoples.
