  • Labour Standards and World Trade Law: Interfacing Legitimate Concerns
    Labour Standards and World Trade Law: Interfacing Legitimate Concerns ∗ Thomas Cottier & Alexandra Caplazi Institute of European & International Economic Law University of Berne Abstract. This paper examines the linkage of trade and the core labour standards confirmed at the Copenhagen Social Summit and reaffirmed at the 86th International Labour Conference 1998 in Geneva. Currently, there is no consensus to what extent the WTO should be involved in labour issues, nor is there clear conceptual guidance as to how the various core standards may interact with trade regulation. We submit that the WTO labour-related measures should focus on a product-related approach while the implementation of broader policies and efforts should be pursued within the ILO. In including a social clause in the WTO, it should be con- sidered that not all of the selected four core labour standards are suitable for WTO implemen- tation. In particular, the political rights of freedom of association and collective bargaining can hardly operate as product-related approach. We further submit that a fruitful interaction between WTO and ILO could emerge similar to the one in process with WIPO in the field of intellectual property, based upon the TRIPs-Agreement and shared standards and concerns. The existence and structure of the TRIPs-Agreement may provide a legal model for linking labour standards and trade. ∗ We are indepted to Steve Charnovitz, Yale University, Maya Hertig, Daniel Wüger and Alwin Kopse for detailed comments on an earlier draft. 1 Table of Contents I.

  • Laying the Foundations
    phaCentre Willyiam Rappard m qae tdo Decidedly administrative in nature, with cell-like offices lined up and standing to attention in a simple and accessible layout, the building’s extreme economy clearly prevailed over any notion of extravagance. “If standardization is to give fresh impetus to labour, is it not up to the ILO to set the standard?” asked Budry.
