This manuscript aims to analyse the inclusion of human rights in the context of decent work. To this end, the current challenges to achieving the end of all forms of forced or compulsory labour were analysed. The Federal Constitution has human dignity as one of its pillars, considering work to be a social and fundamental right of all. The research was developed using qualitative methods, based on theoretical and methodological approaches of an exploratory, bibliographic and documentary nature. However, data analysis was carried out using the socio-legal method, as it sought to analyse international human rights treaties at work, in view of the current challenges to their implementation in the Brazilian socio-economic context. The results show that Brazil has recently implemented public policies to eradicate all forms of contemporary forced or compulsory labour. In this sense, the approval of Decree No. 12,857/2026, which internalised Protocol 2014 relating to ILO Convention No. 29, demonstrates the Brazilian government's commitment to the eradication and prevention of all forms of forced or compulsory labour, in particular slave and child labour, providing for the reparation of damages suffered by victims and the conviction of those responsible. It can be concluded that, although international instruments have been internalised, the United Nations still faces complex challenges in eradicating all forms of forced or compulsory labour, and it is incumbent upon the public authorities and society in general to ensure the effectiveness of humane and dignified work and, in accordance with SDG 8, to promote full and decent employment and sustained and sustainable economic growth for all.
