The International labour Organisation (ILO) in its recent 100th Annual Convention has adopted a resolution, The Convention on Domestic Workers (2011), stating that the domestic workers must have basic labour rights as enjoyed by other workers. India opposed it in the initial stage but had to support at the final stage since the convention was being supported by the huge majority of the nations. The convention was adopted by a vote of 434 with 8 against and 42 abstentions.
Each country has to ratify the convention. Will the government of India ratify the convention or delay it as in the case of Convention on Rights to Organise?
