The Worst Form Hazards faced by Children at Work is a provision in the Worst Forms of Child Labour Recommendation (No. 190) adopted by the International Labour Organization in 1999, which sets out the framework for each ratifying country's specific examination of; and the criteria it uses to determine; "work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety, or morals or children" (C182, Article 3d). This effort is an attempt to complement the Pre-defined worst forms of child labour. Hazardous conditions are said to be faced by over 250 million children worldwide, though it is likely the actual overall figures are significantly higher than these estimates.

“A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.”

“Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly.

What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Natives of poverty, children of malheur,
The gaiety of language is our seigneur.”

What is man, that thou art mindful of him?”
