Summary/Abstract: International Labour Organization (ILO) is one of the most significant international organizations dealing with human rights. In the course of its ninety-year-long existence, it has built a comprehensive system of labour standards which has contributed – with its application via national legislations – to the labourers’ status worldwide. In that way, the International Labour Organization accomplishes the fundamental goal of its existence – social justice, as well as a balance between economic and social progress. However, despite indisputable results, the international labour standards application is being far from desired. The membership in this organization by itself does not imply simultaneously a respect of basic labour standards even. On the other hand, the mechanisms for control of application of the international labour standards adopted are not efficient. Practically, within the IOL’s current monitoring mechanism, there is no way to coerce the member states to respect the adopted basic labour standards voluntarily. Thus, ILO has been turned into an absolutely harmless organization and the international labour standards significance is diminished. In future, therefore, it is necessary to build a new mechanism of control in the framework of the International Labour Organization or elsewhere.
