Labour Rights as Human Rights: The Not So Happy State of the Art
Files
Description
The main concern of this chapter is with the institutional arrangements by which effect can be given to labour rights, whether at the national or international level. Most of the chapters in this volume focus on the actual or potential role of various organizations in promoting a concept of labour rights as human rights and then providing the institutional support to make such a vision effective. While the perspectives given in the various chapters vary significantly, it must be acknowledged that they are united by an acceptance of the view that labour rights warrant certain forms of protection within the framework of the emerging global economic system. They also agree that the institutions that are the focus of the analyses have important roles to play in that regard.
