The role of international labour standards in the area of labour law in a globalized world

Abstract

The purpose of this research is framed in interpreting the international context of International Labour Standards (ILS) within a globalized world and its influence on the area of labour law. The methodology used was basic-legal research, of a herme-neutic-deductive type within the framework of the qualitative-interpretative paradigm of the social sciences. Several countries have been committed to respond to these challenges, with a multidimensional approach that responds to a social agenda, which requires changes in economic, social and environmental policies within the framework of the United Nations and its Sustainable Development Goals. In conclusion, world globalization has brought about the emergence of financial flows, a growing integration of markets, and the foundation of the International Labour Organization (ILO), which through its ILS inclu-des fundamental principles and labour rights that are considered instrumental conditions in improving the living standards of society. The solution to many pressing problems require having both medium and long-term projects that promote gender equality, decent working conditions, and protection of the environment..
