| Title | Elimination of Child Labor: Standards and Role of International Organizations |
| Summary | The current thesis will address several questions: the concept of child labor, causes and scope of child labor in Russia and Ukraine, international and national child labor standards. After elaboration on the international standards it will show the efforts of the international organizations in fostering Russian and Ukrainian compliance with the international standards. In particular, the implementation mechanism of the following international bodies will be examined: the Economic and Social Council, Committee on the Rights of the Child, European Committee on Social Rights and the International Program on Elimination of Child Labor (IPEC), established by the International Labor Organization. I will argue that although the Council of Europe has created a strong international regime because of participants’ strong commitment into it, still this organization is not free from the main disadvantage of conventional international organizations – inability to act on the national level in case of state’s unwillingness to cooperate. The International Program on Elimination of Child Labor (IPEC), established by the International Labor Organization escapes this weakness, because it has a capacity to directly work with the instances of child labor (none of the mentioned conventional international bodies have such capacity) and it has an ability to engage into the national legislative process to change the national legislation which. The IPEC success in advancing the national legislation is explained by the IPEC bottom-up lobbing style, which targets creation of the grass rooted legislative initiatives. |
