Abstract
This paper attempts to explain the role of International Labour Organization (ILO) to combating child labor in India. The ILO is an international organization that is part of the United Nations which focuses on labor rights. The ILO as an international organization has a function to teach a norm to a country or nation to lead a more peaceful international community. The ILO teaches the norm about children right in workers because in India child labor still occurs in various fields. The role of the ILO is to carry out several programs such as IPEC to teach children rights in workers to India. which was then responded by India by ratifying several ILO conventions in several stages from 2013 until 2017. In addition to ratifying India, it also made several policies regarding child labor prohibition and protection of children's rights.
