Presenting a selection of key issues in the field of international labour law, this work deals with some of the most pressing problems facing governments, employers and workers. Extensive consideration is given to developments with regard to the right to freedom of association, the problems of forced labour, equality of treatment, and working conditions in general, the position of young persons, migrant workers and women. The author examines the most recent case law of the ILO and other international supervisory bodies, including the cases of the German "Berufsverbote". the British GCHQ and the Romanian "systematic policy". The work offers an assimilation of information and analysis across a subject area which has remained largely untouched. It should be of value to academic lawyers, legal practitioners, trade union and employer association officials, as well as to a wide range of professionals in associated fields.
