This paper focuses on the actions of the ILO towards Global South, with Brazil as a focal point. As the International Labour Organization has changed its paradigm during one hundred years of existence, the policies toward Global South have also altered. Brazil is a country often evoked in the ILO reports as an example of good practices, i.e. the country that has taken millions of its inhabitants out of poverty. The study shows that ILO standards can be easier achieved when other important conditions are also fulfilled: especially good economic situation and government favourable to social change as well as active civil society and its pressure on reform and change.
