Core Labour Standards and International Trade

More about the book

Focusing on labor standards within Regional and Bilateral Trade Agreements, this book evaluates how these provisions could serve as benchmarks for a multilateral approach. It draws lessons from regional models to propose a Global Labour and Trade Framework Agreement (GLTFA) and suggests a collaborative enforcement mechanism involving the ILO and WTO. The aim is to address the complex relationship between core labor standards and international trade, offering a structured solution to this ongoing issue.
