Why doesn’t WRAP adopt all ILO conventions as minimum requirements?
As stated earlier, WRAP first and foremost looks to the laws of a country in which a factory is located. WRAP believes in the sovereign rights of each country. ILO conventions are not law but conventions passed by a tripartite body of the United Nations and only become law in a country when that country ratifies the convention. A listing of relevant conventions, and which countries have passed those conventions, can be found on the following ILO website: http://www.ilo.org/ilolex/english/docs/declworld.htm.
