The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 74
Paragraph
Paragraph text
While only States are parties to the Covenant, business enterprises, trade unions and all members of society have responsibilities to realize the right to just and favourable conditions of work. This is particularly important in the case of occupational safety and health, given that the employer's responsibility for the safety and health of workers is a basic principle of labour law, intrinsically related to the employment contract, but it also applies to other elements of the right to just and favourable conditions of work.
