- Summary
- This guide aims to achieve three things regarding those mechanisms as they relate to child labour: a) To inform organisations working on child labour about relevant procedures. b) To show organisations that these mechanisms are accessible and useful. c) To indicate next steps for interested organisations. In turn, Anti-Slavery International hopes that this will lead to: a) Increased awareness of available UN/ILO and other monitoring and complaints mechanisms on child labour amongst national level NGOs. b) Increased use of available mechanisms. c) Increased pressure on governments to implement relevant conventions as a result of such submissions. This guide will indicate that international mechanisms can be a useful tool for civil society organisations in cases where governments are not respecting their international obligations. However, it is not an exhaustive guide giving a list of all options.
