UNDERSTANDING THE RELEVANCE OF ILS FOR UN COUNTRY-LEVEL PROGRAMMING
Labour rights -as expressed in international labour standards (ILS)- are human rights. Integrating ILS into economic and legal policy frameworks is critical to reducing inequalities and creating an environment conducive to more equitable and inclusive economic development to uphold the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda's pledge to leave no one behind.
