Information Regimes, governmental agents and information typologies: monitoring the implementation of 182 ILO Convention

Abstract

This article correlate the concepts of Information Regimes with the procedures developed in the process of monitoring the implementation of the International Labor Standards proposed by the International Labor Organization (ILO). The 182 ILO Convention, which deals with the Eradication of the Worst Forms of Child Labor, is the guiding object. From the theoretical point of view are presented concepts and definitions that subsidize the understanding of the International Human Rights Regimes and their respective Information Regimes. In addition, the characteristics of the monitoring procedure of the implementation of the International Labor Standards are presented, focusing on the informational practices that support their full development. Finally, the typologies and informational processes verified in the monitoring procedures of Convention 182 in countries of American continent are analyzed. As a result, it can be seen that although the International Human Rights Regime, represented by the International Labor Organization, aims to establish a standard of informational behavior equalized for all its member states in the implementation of the International Norms, there is a patent variation of levels of collaboration by each national State. It is understood that the International Regimes present undoubted importance in the consolidation of a context of social protection and preservation of fundamental principles and guarantees, however, their respective Information Regimes depend ultimately on the political will of the national contexts to collaborate in an appropriate manner with the Regime.
