Abstract:
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the protection of workers' rights and freedoms worldwide and to the role of international organizations in promoting and monitoring compliance with labour standards. The International Labour Organization (ILO) is one such organization at the forefront of efforts to promote decent work and social justice for all. This thesis investigates the implementation of International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions in Russia with a specific focus on public sector workers and the extent to which they protect their rights and freedoms. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines document analysis and case studies, the study analyzes the Russian government's compliance with ILO conventions related to public service workers and identifies areas where improvements are needed. The findings suggest that there are still significant gaps in protecting civil servants' rights and freedoms, particularly in relation to collective bargaining and freedom of association. The study concludes with recommendations for improving the implementation of ILO conventions in Russia related to public service workers.
