国际劳工组织的悖论与承诺

The Paradoxes and Promise of the ILO

国际劳工组织在国际劳工法领域是一个重要且积极的力量。然而,这一分析表明,它的成功很可能是不均匀的。在某些问题上,作为一个民间立法机构,国际劳工组织的结构可能对它实现其目标具有多方面的障碍。特别是在制定高劳工标准的国际协议方面,在具体标准上,以及实现模糊的目标,如"体面"和"生产性"工作方面都是十分困难的。然而,在其他方面,国际劳工组织可能是一个强大的和富有成效的可以促成变革的积极力量。国际劳工组织独特的优势,可以在协调可能产生真正的价值的情况下,对劳工制度进行协调。这也可能为高水准的劳工标准可以成为促进成员国内部民主化变革的标准提供实例。总体而言,如果将努力和资源集中于最富有成果的领域,国际劳工组织将得到更好的发展。

The ILO is an important and positive force in international labor law.However,this analysis suggests that its success is likely to be uneven.On some issues,the ILO's structure as a private legislature is likely to impose significant barriers to its ability to accomplish its goals.In particular,it may be difficult to forge international agreement on high labor standards,on specific standards,and on vague goals such as'decent'and'productive'work.In other areas,however,the ILO may be a powerful and productive force for positive change.The ILO may be uniquely positioned to coordinate labor regulation in circumstances where coordination could produce real value.It may also be able to provide examples of high labor standards that could serve as benchmarks to facilitate positive democratic change within member countries.Overall,this suggests that the ILO would be well served by focusing its efforts and resources on those areas where its work is likely to be most fruitful.
