The Monsanto Human Rights Policy is guided by two important declarations on human rights and labor rights developed by the United Nations and the International Labour Organization (ILO) – a sister U.N. agency that promotes international labor Standards. They include:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as well as the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (DFPRW).
Monsanto's policies that prohibit child labor are based on the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 182 - Worst Forms of Child Labor.
