By ratifying ILO Convention No. 182, the countries commit themselves to take immediate action to prohibit and eliminate the worst forms of child labour. This Convention is enjoying the fastest pace of ratifications in the ILO's history since 1919. In parallel, ILO Convention No.138, setting forth a larger framework for the longer-term objective of the effective abolition of child labour, has also been receiving a surge in ratifications. The increase in ratification of these Conventions clearly demonstrates that support for the movement against child labour is growing very rapidly throughout the world.
