1. Fundamental rights at work: Overview and prospects

   01 January 2001

   Labour Education 2001/1 No. 122: Three years after the adoption of the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up by the 86th Session of the International Labour Conference, it makes sense to try and take stock of the situation. Not that this would represent a definite exercise, but analysing trends, improvements or setbacks would help determine immediate and future work.
