Introduction: Transnational futures of international labour law

In: International labour review, Band 159, Heft 4, S. 455-462

Abstract

AbstractThis Special Issue on transnational labour law is placed in the context of the ILO centenary and the challenge of achieving the objective of decent work in a new century, under distinct transnational pressures. The author argues that international labour law, as the normative core of transnational labour law, can play a crucial role – in conjunction with a wide range of actors and the ILO in its standard‐setting and convenor capacities – in addressing this challenge and in reshaping the transnational legal architecture.
