The article examines the significance of the norms of the fundamental conventions of the International Labor Organization on the abolition of forced labor, the prohibition of discrimination in labor relations, equal pay for equal work, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, as well as their implementation in national legislation. The ways of implementing the recommendations of the control body of the International Labor Organization, the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations on the Application of International Labor Standards are analyzed. Proposals have been developed to bring national legislation in line with international standards, taking into account the norms of ILO conventions and recommendations of the Committee of Experts.
