Use of Agency Labour - Law

1. Go to the ILO database of national laws (NATLEX) dealing with labour standards.

"Browse by subject" (in left hand nav) until you find "General Provisions", where you can find "Human rights".

Then choose your own country to find laws and regulations...

Copy and Paste into a file of your own for future reference.

2. You are unlikely to find an ILO COnvention dealing specifically with harsh or inhumane treatment.

However, you may like to look in the "Advanced find" facility at the ILO.

NB For suppliers operating in the UK:
In the UK two major changes have been the development of the Temporary Labour Working Group and its Code of Practice and the passing of the Gangmaster Licensing Act in 2004.
