Standards implementation

ILO supervisory system: Regular supervision

International labour standards are backed by a supervisory system comprised of independent legal experts and tripartite bodies to help ensure that countries implement the Conventions they ratify.

Regular supervision supports member States in giving effect to labour standards in pursuit of decent work and sustainable development. The regular system of supervision is based on the examination by two ILO bodies of reports on the application in law and practice sent by member States and on observations in this regard sent by workers’ organizations and employers’ organizations.
