   Les normes internationales du travail: un patrimoine pour l'avenir. Mélanges en l'honneur de Nicolas Valticos (E/F/S)

   18 November 2004

   «Progrès et stabilité sont donc bien deux fonctions parallèles – et en réalité complémentaires – des normes internationales du travail. Sans stabilité, en effet, le progrès risque d’être précaire et de se voir à tout moment remis en question. Sans progrès, d’autre part, la stabilité risque d’aboutir à l’immobilisme et, finalement, de s’effondrer, les structures vieillies éclatant sous la pression des changements nécessaires.»
