Проаналізовано систему міжнародно-правового регулювання робочого часу, яка є складною впорядкованою сукупністю міжнародних договорів, законодавства ЄС і практики ЄСПЛ, що закріплюють основоположні принципи та міжнародні трудові стандарти у сфері робочого часу. Наведено класифікацію джерел міжнародно-правового регулювання робочого часу: 1) міжнародні договори; 2) законодавчі акти ЄС; 3) практика ЄСПЛ. Оскільки найбільшу частину джерел міжнародно-правового регулювання робочого часу становлять міжнародні договори, то запропоновано класифікувати їх залежно від суб"єктів, у рамках діяльності яких укладаються такі договори: 1) договори в рамках діяльності ООН; 2) договори в рамках діяльності Ради Європи; 3) договори в рамках діяльності МОП; 4) договори в рамках діяльності ЄС. Досліджено положення міжнародно-правових актів щодо робочого часу, звертається увага на їхні особливості. Надано рекомендації щодо подальшої імплементації положень Директиви № 2003/88/ЄС "Про деякі аспекти організації робочого часу" унаціональне трудове законодавство.
The purpose of this article is to clarify the system and a thorough analysis of the sources of international legal regulation of working time. During the study a number of methods have been used, namely: the formal&-logical method has been used for the classification of sources of international legal regulation of working time and relevant international agreements; the system-structural method and the synthesis method - for the analysis of the provisions of the& EU Directive 2003/88/EC on certain aspects of the organization of working time, as well as the formal-dogmatic and modeling method - for providing recommendations on the harmonization of national legislation with to the relevant Directive. This stud&y analyzes the system of international legal regulation of working time, which is a complex orderly set of international treaties, EU legislation and ECHR practices that underpin fundamental principles and international labour standards in the field &of working time. The scientific work presents the classification of sources of international legal regulation of working time for: 1) international agreements; 2) EU legislation; 3) ECHR practice. Since most of the sources of international legal regu&lation of working time are international treaties, it is proposed to classify them according to the entities within which the following treaties are concluded: 1) treaties within the UN; 2) treaties within the Council of Europe; 3) treaties within th&e ILO; 4) treaties within the EU. ILO treaties are proven to be crucial in the area of international legal regulation of working time, as the ILO is an international organization, a specialized UN agency, established to support international cooperat&ion in peacekeeping around the world and to reduce social injustice at the expense of improving working conditions. First of all, for the qualitative perception of the provisions relating to international legal regulation of working time, it is neces&sary to define the concept of "international labour standards", which is applied in the framework of the ILO activities. International labour standards are legal instruments developed by the ILO (taking into account the principle of tripartite repres&entation - governments, workers and employers) that set out the fundamental principles and rights in the field of labour. The main forms of consolidation of such standards are ILO conventions and recommendations. The provisions of sources of internat&ional legal regulation of working time are studied, attention is paid to their peculiarities and specificity. A number of recommendations have been made to further implement the provisions of Directive 2003/88/EC on certain aspects of the organizatio&n of working time in national labour law. In particular, it is established that this Directive establishes minimum safety and health requirements for the organization of working time and applies to: minimum periods of daily rest, weekly rest and annu&
