Abstract
International Labor Organization (ILO) has been encouraging countries to implement international labor standards since 1919. With the help of international labor standards, ILO aims to improve the quality of human life and dignity. In order to reach this aim, the ILO's 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work sets out four core labor standards that are binding on all ILO member states. Although developed countries ratified many standards, developing countries and especially Muslim countries are lagging behind. In this paper, we attempt to document the labor standards in Muslim countries by using ILO's Information System on International Labor Standards and compare their position with the rest of the world.
