Abstract
With the deep development of globalization, MNEs as its carrier play an important role and their own power grows rapidly in this process. In the extreme pursuit of profit, MNEs violate international labor rights in a very serious manner, which breaks up the basic principles of labor rights protection established by the International Labor Organization (ILO)z and causes significant damage to human rights. The root cause of this phenomenon is the lack of direct and effective international laws to restrain labor rights violations by MNEs. This paper proposes that labor rights obligations should be imposed on MNEs through international treaties, especially it should draw on the excellent practices of some FTAs. At the same time, it is hoped that through this approach, a feasible path for the establishment of an international mechanism for the protection of labor rights will be explored.
