Convention 182 (ILO)

Convention 182 is a treaty established by the International Labour Organization (ILO) aimed at eliminating the worst forms of child labor. Adopted in 1999, it defines these harmful practices, which include slavery, trafficking, and work that threatens a child's health or moral development. The convention obligates countries to take immediate and effective measures to protect children from such exploitation and ensure access to education. By addressing these severe issues, Convention 182 seeks to promote the rights of children and safeguard their well-being, allowing them to thrive in safe and nurturing environments.
