- International Labour Recommendations do not have the binding force of Conventions,
and are not subject to ratification. Often Recommendations are adopted at the same
time as Conventions to supplement the latter with additional or more detailed provisions.
These provisions enable the underlying principles of the Convention to be set out and
stated more precisely, and serve as a guide to national policies.
- In some cases Recommendations have been adopted separately, when the subject matter is not
appropriate for adoption as a Convention. Existing rules for the adoption of Conventions, submission to the competent authorities and reports on law and practice are, mutatis mutandis, applicable to Recommendations.
How to use:
- Each document indicates the Conference session and date of adoption, the
Recommendation number and its subject classification(s). Each Convention consists of
a Preamble, a text consisting of a certain number of articles, and annexes, where
applicable.
