The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Employment Relation  

Edited by Klaus Lörcher, Niklas Bruun and Ana Teresa Ribeiro

This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights.

Part 1 analyses the main transversal questions, including substantive issues and all procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. Together, the chapters in this book empower the user to find answers to relevant and practical problems.

The book is an essential resource for academics and practitioners in labour law who are using international law instruments to enforce and improve workers’ rights.
