This research examines the principle of prohibition of discrimination in the field of labor and employment by comparing national legal frameworks with international standards. The study explores how different jurisdictions define, implement, and enforce anti-discrimination protections in employment contexts. Using a qualitative, doctrinal comparative law methodology, the research analyzes international conventions, regional instruments, and national legislation across selected jurisdictions. The findings reveal significant normative gaps between international obligations and domestic enforcement mechanisms, particularly in developing economies. The analysis identifies emerging best practices and recommends harmonization strategies to strengthen protection against employment discrimination globally. The study contributes to the growing literature on labor rights governance by bridging international standards with practical national implementation challenges.
