Nesi, Nogler, & Pertile: Child Labour in a Globalized World: A Legal Analysis of ILO Action

Giuseppe Nesi (Univ. of Trento - Law), Luca Nogler (Univ. of Trento - Law), & Marco Pertile (Univ. of Trento - Law) have published Child Labour in a Globalized World: A Legal Analysis of ILO Action (Ashgate 2008). Here's the abstract:

This volume examines the legal dimension of the ILO's action in the field of Child Labour. The authors investigate the implementation of the relevant legal instruments and assess the effectiveness of the ILO supervisory system. All relevant instruments are considered while particular attention is given to Convention 182 on the elimination of the worst forms of child labour.

Child Labour in a Globalized World describes the ILO's activities concerning the eradication of child labour whilst assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the relevant legal framework and functioning of the supervisory system. This book contextualizes the issue of the eradication of the worst forms of child labour in the recent doctrinal debate on the nature of labour standards and the transformation of the ILO.
