Abstract: This paper analyses the issues of labour rights protection in global supply chains, exploring the current situation, problems, and solutions. It begins by presenting global labour mobility data and the current state of labour protection, noting that many countries, despite signing the International Labour Charter, face challenges in its implementation. The study reveals the severity of labour rights violations in global supply chains and their impact on individuals and society. Furthermore, it examines the problems and causes of labour rights protection from the perspectives of host countries, home countries, and companies. The research emphasizes the importance of protecting labour rights for global economic sustainability and calls for joint efforts to improve the situation. By addressing these issues, the paper aims to contribute to the development of more effective protection mechanisms and promote fair and sustainable practices across global supply chains. It also highlights the need for enhanced cooperation among governments, international organizations, and businesses to establish robust legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms. The study suggests that through comprehensive reforms and a commitment to ethical practices, stakeholders can work together to create a more equitable global economy where labour rights are respected and protected.
