Institute of Fundamental and Human Rights (awaiting final confirmation)
International labour law (ILL) might be efficient only in case if the national actors are aware of it and are ready to implement it. Human rights treaties form part of ILL, and the legal reasoning of international human rights bodies expressed in concluding observations, conclusions or judgments at times shape the national approach to a certain labour law issue.
In particular, the topics of workplace privacy, religious rights at work, the approach to discrimination and its justification are of interest. Also, the impact of international bodies on public policies in the field of forced labour, employment and collective labour law policies, struggle with harassment and violence at work, are very welcome. We also invite papers considering the ways of improving the links between international bodies and national courts.
The conference will comprise of 3 panels:
1. The value of positions of the UN Human rights committees and their impact on national law or jurisprudence;
2. The impact of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on national labour law and the difficulties of ensuring compliance;
3. The impact of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Committee of Social Rights onnational labour law and the points of resistance.
