Explanation:

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that sets international labour standards. Conventions 138 and 182 are two of the eight fundamental conventions of the ILO specifically focused on eradicating child labour worldwide.

1. ILO Convention 138 (Minimum Age Convention, 1973):
This convention aims at the effective abolition of child labour. It requires member states to pursue a national policy designed to ensure the effective abolition of child labour and to progressively raise the minimum age for admission to employment or work to a level consistent with the fullest physical and mental development of young persons.

2. ILO Convention 182 (Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999):
This convention focuses on prohibiting and eliminating the worst forms of child labour, including all forms of slavery, trafficking of children, debt bondage, forced labour, use of children in armed conflict, commercial sexual exploitation, and hazardous work that is likely to harm the health, safety, or morals of children.
