The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 69
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- States parties must refrain from acts or omissions that interfere, either directly or indirectly, with the realization of the right to just and favourable conditions of work in other countries. This is particularly relevant when a State party owns or controls an enterprise or provides substantial support and services to an enterprise operating in another State party. To this end, the State party should respect relevant host-country legislation that complies with the Covenant. When the home country has stronger legislation, the State party should seek to maintain similar minimum standards in the host country as much as practicable. State parties should also require respect for the right to just and favourable conditions of work by individuals and enterprises based extraterritorially with which they conduct commercial transactions.
