Seminar on International Labour Law. Fourth edition, 2022

The fourth edition of the Course on International Labour Law organized by the Department of Law of the University of Ferrara in collaboration with the Office of the International Labour Organization (ILO) for Italy and San Marino will take place from 11 November to 14 December 2022.

10 novembre 2022

The course aims to provide knowledge about the International Labour Organisation and how it operates. In the first part of the course, the origin and the history of ILO, that in 2019 celebrated its centenary, are illustrated. Moreover, the ILO tripartite composition is explained, describing the different bodies that operate inside the Organisation. Besides, the rules that regulate the ILO Committees that aim to enforce ILO Conventions and Recommendations are presented.

The second part of the course focuses on what ILO does to improve labour standards and working conditions. Therefore, the main ILO Conventions and Recommendations are examined, also taking into consideration how they have been implemented at national level. Some cases of infringements and violations detected by the ILO Committees are illustrated. In the final part of the course, the effectiveness of ILO regulation at national level is analysed, exploring if and how national courts apply ILO Conventions and Regulations and their juridical value in the national legal orders. Moreover, the relevance of ILO regulation for other International entities (such as the EU Institutions, the European Court of Human Rights and the European Committee for social rights) is explored.

Please note that, although not included in the educational offer of the Department, the course will allow the acquisition of 3 + 3 ECTS.
