This is the first Global Report to be released under the ILO Declaration on Fundamental principles and Rights at Work. "It examines trends in relation to respect shown for freedom of association and collective bargaining rights around the globe.The enlargement of democracy around the world has generally improved the context in which the rights are realized. However, an examination of information available to the ILO shows that significant problems still exist.The report calls for action so that the promises and commitments, made by governments at the Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization in Singapore, the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen, and in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, can be realized."
