Pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia terhadap Pekerja Pabrik Garmen H&M di Kamboja

Abstract

The Cambodian government has set regulations regarding the human rights of
factory workers, especially in the garment sector, based on ILO conventions. H&M
is a multinational company that has a garment industry supplier in Cambodia. The
problem here is that there is often the practice of human rights violations in the form
of forced labor inside the H&M factories in Cambodia. Although there are already
regulations related to the human rights for workers from the Cambodian government
and also the ILO, even H&M has also established a code of conduct that must be
obeyed by all suppliers in all country, however, violations of regulations are still
common. Then, this research has a focus in finding the reasons why H&M still
violates workers’ rights. In answering this question, this research uses neoliberal
economic theory, using the concept of MNC, and dependence. This study uses
explanatory methods in answering problems. The results of this study found that this
violation occurred due to the purpose of H&M which is to increase the maximum
profit. Then, even though there are rules from the ILO, a multinational company is
not obliged to comply with these rules. Another reason is that law enforcement that
regulates the rights of workers has not been done maximally.
