The New ILO Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention 1999 was developed by a coalition of over 50 NGO’s that make up the NGO Group for the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) who aim to “facilitate the promotion, implementation and monitoring of the Convention on the Rights of the Child”. Their Sub-Group focussing on Child Labour is responsible for this document which provides guidance to children’s rights groups. They demonstrate case studies from Togo and Guatemala to show the fundamental role civil society groups can have in eradicating the worst forms of child labour.
