Embedding International Labour Standards in judicial training to protect workers' rights in Egypt and Tunisia
ILO partners with national judicial training institutions in Egypt and Tunisia to incorporate International Labour Standards (ILS) into judicial training, ensuring judges better uphold fundamental workplace rights for all.
Labour and civil court judges play a vital role in ensuring that workplace rights are respected. Their decisions can uphold workers' rights, clarify employers’ obligations, and influence broader labour practices. Recognising the importance of judicial training, the Advancing the Decent Work Agenda in North Africa (ADWA’) project, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), collaborated with Egypt’s National Centre for Judicial Studies (NCJS) and Tunisia’s Institut Supérieur de la Magistrature (ISM) to integrate International Labour Standards (ILS) into judicial curricula.
