"The Development of International Labour Law"
What are international labour standards? Why are they needed and how are they used? How do they originate? What is the process involved? How are representatives of employers and of workers involved along with governments in drafting international labour standards in the International Labour Organization? Which subjects do these standards cover? How do they enter into force? As treaties, how can they be revised? What are the contemporary trends in setting international labour standards? What challenges do they face? This introductory lecture addresses these questions and more.
