International Labour Organization has been established hundred years ago with a purpose to institute mechanisms establishing common standards and certain international regulatory framework in response to the globalization processes associated with growing trade, increased competition between countries, increased migration and capital movements. After the World Wart 2 renewed ILO has been expected to become important element of the global governance system. Since the last decades of 20th century, new wave of globalization coupled with deregulation weakened both position of labour in the global economy and that of the ILO. As a consequence, increased inequalities and other consequences of spontaneous unregulated globalisation fuelled populist backlash against free trade and liberal democracy. Technological developments and associated changes in the world of business and the world of work call for the renewal of industrial relations, of concepts of employment relationship, tripartism and social dialogue. But like before, possibility of any improvement, including of restoring more equal bargaining position between parties to an employment relationship, lies in effective use of the freedom of association and the dialogue – founding principles of the ILO.

New Sources and New Actors of International Labour Law

100%
EN
The last decade has been marked by a huge growth of the economic power of multinational companies. This has enhanced attention to their as employers' activity, especially in the developing countries. As a reaction of the companies to this attention and critics, a new source of international labour law - corporate codes of conduct - has surfaced. There are both positive and negative effects of practice of adoption of such codes. The effectiveness of these new acts is now a matter of serious debates. This article considers the opportunities and threats associated with this phenomenon.

The foundation of the International Labour Organization is the offspring of a reform project to improve labour conditions in the face of revolutionary movements during and after World War I. In its 100-year history, the ILO has created a comprehensive system of minimum international labour standards largely laid down in Conventions and Recommendations, together with a supervisory mechanism and technical assistance for the application and control of the norms. The ILO norms are universally valid, independently of a country’s level of development, culture, tradition, and category of worker or enterprise. Conventions classified as fundamental are rated as human rights. They have to be respected and promoted by ILO member countries independently of ratification. ILO labour standards are directed to set an effective floor to wages, hours of work, conditions of employment and social services for all countries engaged in international competition in order to prevent social dumping and achieve fair and stable globalization. The relevance of the standards has grown with the successive stages of global economic interdependence and integration, driven by multi-national companies, cross-national supply chains and trade agreements. Abundant empirical evidence shows that the observance of ILO rules generates economic, social and political dividends.

Międzynarodowa Organizacja Pracy (MOP) powstała w wyniku projektu reform mających na celu poprawę warunków pracy w obliczu fali ruchów rewolucyjnych przetaczającej się podczas I wojny światowej i po jej zakończeniu. W swojej stuletniej historii MOP stworzyła spójny i kompleksowy system minimalnych międzynarodowych standardów pracy, zawarty przede wszystkim w jej konwencjach i zaleceniach, wraz z mechanizmem nadzoru i pomocą techniczną w zakresie stosowania i kontroli przestrzegania tych standardów. Standardy czy normy MOP są powszechnie obowiązujące, niezależnie od poziomu rozwoju kraju, kultury, tradycji i kategorii zatrudnienia pracownika lub typu przedsiębiorstwa. Konwencje uznane przez Międzynarodową Organizację Pracy za podstawowe traktowane są na równi z prawami człowieka. Muszą one być przestrzegane i promowane przez wszystkie państwa członkowskie MOP niezależnie od tego czy są ratyfikowane czy nie. Celem standardów pracy Międzynarodowej Organizacji Pracy jest ustalenie efektywnych dopuszczalnych poziomów płac, godzin pracy, warunków zatrudnienia i usług socjalnych dla wszystkich krajów konkurujących ze sobą w światowej gospodarce aby zapobiegać dumpingowi socjalnemu i zapewnić sprawiedliwą i stabilną globalizację. Znaczenie norm rosło wraz z kolejnymi etapami narasatania globalnej współzależności i integracji, gospodarczej, napędzanych przez przedsiębiorstwa wielonarodowe, przez ponadnarodowe łańcuchy dostaw i przez umowy handlowe. Liczne dowody empiryczne wskazują na to, że przestrzeganie zasad ustalonych w ramach MOP przynosi korzyści gospodarcze, społeczne i polityczne.
