International Labour Organization

Русская версия

  1. Establish, monitor and report on clear benchmarks for the governments of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to fulfill their commitments to implement the fundamental labor conventions of the ILO, including the elimination of state-orchestrated forced labor of children and adults in their respective cotton sectors
  2. Ensure the participation of the IOE, ITUC, and International Union of Food and Agriculture Workers (IUF) as well as regular consultation with independent Uzbek and Turkmen civil society groups in the development and implementation of all monitoring and technical assistance activities in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan
  3. Raise concerns about the safety and access of independent monitors publicly and at the highest levels and make clear that their ability to work unimpeded is a vital sign of the government’s good faith and requirement for ILO assistance
  4. Ensure that all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty is reported as forced labor, and that all ILO-led monitoring includes the participation of independent civil society and reports on all ILO Indicators of Forced Labor
  5. Ensure that public awareness measures be accompanied by steps to end coercive recruitment and real, public accountability measures against officials for illegal practices
