In the KORUS FTA, Korea and the US declared to make aceaseless effort to improve the protection level of the internationally recognizedlabor rights. The internationally recognized labor rights refer to freedom of association, rightto organize, right to bargain collectively which are stated in the core conventionsof the International Labor Organization (ILO). In addition, by making it clear aduty of carrying out labor laws faithfully, the two nations decided to preventnon-compliance of the laws under the name of promoting trade and investment. KORUS FTA might pave the way for the two nations to create a fair tradeenvironment by reaffirming their will to respect the internationally recognizedlabor rights, and it will serve an opportunity for Korea to fulfill the domesticlabor laws through introducing Public Communications (PC) system and LaborAffairs Council. Ultimately, the success or failure of labor provisions depends on the two countries'willingness to take labor obligations seriously.
