Darbo jėgą sudaro apie 45 % pasaulio gyventojų. Profesinės traumos, su darbu susijusios ligos turi didelę reikšmę darbuotojų sveikatai. Ligos, kurios nesusijusios su darbu, gali taip pat turėti įtakos darbo našumui. Darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos tarnybos plačiai pripažįstamos kaip esminis sveikesnės ir saugesnės darbo aplinkos kūrimo elementas. Darbo tikslas – įvertinti Darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos tarnybų veiklą Lietuvos energetikos sektoriaus įmonėse. Darbo tikslui pasiekti buvo iškelti šie uždaviniai: įvertinti Lietuvos Darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos tarnybų funkcijų atitikimą TDO 161 (ILO 161) konvencijai; nustatyti vykdomas Lietuvos energetikos sektoriaus įmonių Darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos tarnybų funkcijas; įvertinti Lietuvos energetikos sektoriaus įmonių Darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos žmogiškųjų resursų atitikimą Lietuvos Respublikos teisės aktams. Lietuvos DSS tarnybų funkcijų atitikimas TDO 161 konvencijai buvo vertinamas pagal 11 funkcijų, reglamentuotų konvencijoje. DSS tarnybų funkcijos ir žmogiškieji resursai nustatyti atlikus anketinė apklausą, kuri atlikta 2009 m. lapkričio – gruodžio mėnesiais.

Labour force is constituted of some 45 per cent of the world population. Occupational injuries, as well as work related diseases have a lot of influence on health of the labour force. Diseases, which are not related to work, may also have an impact on efficiency of work. Occupational health and safety (OHS) services are widely recognized as the essential element of healthier and more secure labour environment. The aim of the work is to evaluate activities of OHS services in energy sector companies in Lithuania. The following tasks were raised in order to achieve the aim: to assess the conformity of functions performed by Lithuanian OHS services with ILO Convention No. 161; to identify functions of OHS services in energy sector companies in Lithuania; to identify and evaluate the conformity of human resources of OHS services in energy sector companies in Lithuania with the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania. Conformity of functions of Lithuanian OHS services with ILO Convention No. 161 was assessed on the basis of 11 functions regulated in the Convention. Functions and human resources of the Occupational health and safety services were detected having performed a questionnaire survey in November – December 2009. Questionnaire was drawn up following the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO): Regional Guidelines for the Development of Healthy Workplaces and Basic Occupational Health Services. During the research a questionnaire survey was performed, which... [to full text]

When President Sebastián Piñera entered office in 2010 the Mapuche indigenous people were receiving two contrasting messages from the Chilean State. On the one hand, the government ratified ILO Convention 169, pledging to protect the indigenous right to prior consultation in programs that affect their communities. On the other hand, the government was involved in the oppression of Mapuche communities in the region of the Araucanía through militarisation and the application of the Anti-Terrorist Law to punish radical Mapuche activists that protest corporate encroachment on their land. While Piñera had the opportunity to legitimize the Mapuche demand for self-determination by implementing ILO Convention 169 according to international standards and putting an end to the “Mapuche Conflict,” instead the situation of the Mapuche political movement worsened under his leadership. The Piñera administration used indigenous rights policy and a discourse of terrorism as a strategy to delegitimize the Mapuche demand for self-determination in order to protect corporate profitability, a key factor in the Chilean neoliberal economic project.

Indigenous peoples constitute at least 5000 distinct peoples with a population of more than 370 million, living in 70 different countries. These peoples are typically subjected to a number of human rights violations (being excluded from decision-making processes and forced to assimilate into dominant groups, among others). The plight of these peoples has recently received worldwide attention. In 1989, the international community adopted the Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (Convention 169) to protect the rights of these peoples. In 2007 the UN adopted a Declaration on Indigenous peoples’ Rights. Attention is now focused on implementing indigenous peoples’ rights at the domestic level. Cameroon is not yet a party to Convention No.169 and so cannot be bound under the Convention to protect the rights of its indigenous peoples. Cameroon often denies any duty in this regard. However, Cameroon is party to core human rights instruments like the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination and the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights and Freedom. Cameroon also voted in favour of the adoption of the UN Declaration on Indigenous Peoples Rights. These international human rights instruments, with the exclusion of the Declaration, are not specifically dedicated to indigenous peoples’ rights. Given this situation, two questions arise: is Cameroon bound by any international legal obligation to protect the rights of its indigenous peoples; and if so, is Cameroon implementing the basic international law principles relating to indigenous peoples’ rights. Using an in-depth study and analysis of various international human rights treaties to which Cameroon is a party, this research will explore the grounds on which Cameroon, though not a party to Convention 169, can be held bound to protect the rights of its indigenous peoples (chapter 2). This research present the situation of the indigenous peoples in Cameroon and provide a brief overview of the legislative and policy measures taken by the government which in some way provide entry points for the protection of the rights of the indigenous people in Cameroon (chapter 3). A critical analysis of these measures highlights some areas of success but also work that remains to be done to ensure that the rights of Cameroon’s indigenous peoples are fully protected (chapter 4). The study concludes with a number of recommendations for further study and legal reform (chapter 5).

Child labour is recognised as the most important source of child exploitation and abuse in the developing countries. Endemic in today's poor countries, it seems also to have re-emerged in developed countries. This research explores the present position of child workers in Pakistan and in one of the most developed countries, namely, the UK. The rationale for investigating the situation of working children in a developed country is that the experience of such countries provides important evidence by which to test the assumptions that guide policy in the developing world, with a view to reducing the problem of the worst forms of child labour. It is also the case that some of the problems associated with the child labour still persist in the most developed countries. Workers under 18 contribute to the economy in most developed world, and no country has been able wholly to protect them from physical, economic and social harm. In particular, some of the worst forms of child labour as set out in the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention No.182 on Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour 1999, including hazardous work, prostitution, child pornography, child soldiering and child trafficking, continue to attract attention. Recently, concerns about child labour have come to be linked to the issues of trade and trade liberalisation, and the possibility has been raised that international trade regulations may provide a weapon against child labour. The research therefore investigates the role and effectiveness of the ILO, international trade mechanisms and the impact of trade sanctions in combating the problem. In particular, it focuses on the following main issues. Is imposing trade sanctions on developing countries, irrespective of the causes and distribution of the problem, an appropriate approach to the problem? What would be the impact of international trade restrictions on the elimination of the worst forms of child labour? Is the World Trade Organisation (WTO) the appropriate forum to discuss the child labour? Will the imposition of sanctions lead to more protectionism in this era of globalisation, in which the prevailing ideology favours the dismantling of trade barriers rather than their erection? Is the use of the trade sanction as an instrument against child labour justified, and will it work in developing countries? Can the ILO play an effective role in eliminating the worst forms of child labour? Has child labour in the developed countries declined through trade sanctions? The research examines the actual position of child workers and legislation relating to them on international, regional and national levels. At the regional level, it considers the EU laws and directives on the Protection of Young People at Work. At the national levels, it analyses the lacunas in child labour legislation and considers the difficulties in its enforcement in Pakistan and the UK. A comprehensive overview is provided of relevant conventions including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) 1989, and ILO conventions for combating child labour and its standards for the protection of child. The contribution of various relevant conventions, notably, the Minimum Age Convention No. 138 and Convention No. 182 on strategies to combat child labour is subjected to scrutiny. Discrepancy between law and practice are revealed and the impact of various factors in undermining the impact of legislation and its enforcement is analysed. It is argued that in order to strengthen the legal safeguards for the elimination of worst forms of child labour there is a need for reforms and a comprehensive legal framework, as well as the proper enforcement of existing laws. Moreover, a future plan of action should be developed for the effective promotion and protection of rights in relation to child labour.

L’année 1919 a été décisive dans l’histoire sociale. En effet, elle fut marquée par la création de l’Organisation internationale du travail (OIT), issue de la partie XIII du traité de Versailles. Cette institution à vocation universelle se plaçait dans la continuité d'expérimentations et de réflexions menées, depuis le XIXe siècle, sur le Vieux Continent. L’objectif des puissances européennes était de définir un cadre international de règles, communes aux Etats, pour empêcher à la fois les excès de certains patrons, les conflits avec les travailleurs, tout en combattant la pratique du dumping social et en garantissant une concurrence loyale, non seulement entre eux mais aussi à l’échelle internationale. La France joua un rôle majeur dans la rédaction de ces textes et dans la création de l’OIT, chargée de poursuivre ce travail. De ce fait, cette institution dut concilier l’européocentrisme dominant le BIT et sa vocation universelle. La solution apparut, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, à travers l’interrégionalisme développé par Paul van Zeeland, et que l’institution tenta de mettre en œuvre durant l’après-guerre et la guerre froide. Il s’agissait de créer des regroupements régionaux et de les faire coopérer dans les domaines politique, économique et social pour garantir la paix dans le monde ; l’Europe occidentale devait en être le laboratoire. Cette région, notamment la France, influença donc durablement les réflexions de l’OIT
The year 1919 was decisive in the social history. Indeed, it was marked by the creation of the International Labour Organization (ILO), resulting from part XIII of the treaty of Versailles. This institution with universal vocation placed itself in continuity of experiments and of carried out reflections, since the 19th century, on the Old continent. The objective of the European powers was to define an international framework of common rules for States, to prevent at the same time excesses of some managers, the conflicts with the workers, while fighting the practice of the social dumping and guaranteeing a fair competition, not only between them but also on an international scale. France played a major role in the writing of these texts and the creation of the ILO, charged to continue this work. So this institution had to reconcile the europeocentrism dominating the International Labour Office and its universal vocation. The solution appeared, during the Second World War, through the interregionalism developed by Paul van Zeeland, and that the institution tried to implement during the post-war period and the cold war. It was a question of creating regional regroupings and of making them cooperate in the policy fields, economic and social to guarantee peace in the world; Western Europe had to be the laboratory about it. This region, in particular France, thus influenced durably the reflections of the ILO

A presente dissertação objetiva analisar a definição de prevenção em matéria de segurança e saúde no trabalho proposta pela Convenção 187 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT), a fim de identificar elementos que possam contribuir para o aprimoramento da tutela à saúde do trabalhador no Brasil. Essa Convenção, aprovada em junho de 2006 durante a 95ª Conferência Internacional do Trabalho, representa a mais recente atuação normativa da OIT para a prevenção de acidentes do trabalho e de doenças ocupacionais. Trata-se de um marco normativo promocional de uma nova estratégia global em prol do meio ambiente do trabalho seguro e saudável. Neste sentido, defende-se a ideia de que a Convenção 187 da OIT constitui-se em um importante campo de juridicidade que poderá colaborar, caso seja ratificada, para a promoção da saúde do trabalhador no Brasil. Depreende-se que o Brasil, por meio da Constituição Federal de 1988 e das normas infraconstitucionais posteriores (especialmente a Lei 8080/90), já iniciou uma normatização em que a prevenção à saúde do trabalhador deve ser realizada levando-se em conta todos os fatores intervenientes no meio ambiente do trabalho. Tal prevenção está em consonância com um novo paradigma de tutela, o qual preconiza a proteção ao meio ambiente do trabalho em sentido integral (paradigma emergente). No entanto, identifica-se que o atual modelo brasileiro apresenta obstáculos, vistos como desafios, para uma plena proteção ao meio ambiente do trabalho. Esses obstáculos são representados, especialmente, pelos limites de tolerância; pela culpabilização da vítima e pela cultura do EPI. Através da pesquisa, identificam-se quatro elementos na Convenção 187 da OIT que poderão contribuir para aperfeiçoar a tutela à saúde do trabalhador no Brasil, e, consequentemente, para uma transição de paradigmas na prevenção. São eles: 1) respeito a um meio ambiente do trabalho seguro e saudável; 2) participação ativa dos trabalhadores; 3) sistema de direitos com responsabilidades e deveres definidos; 4) máxima prioridade ao princípio da prevenção.
This thesis aims to analyze the definition of preventative occupational safety and health proposed by Convention 187 of International Labour Organization (ILO), to identify elements that may contribute to the improvement of tutelage for occupational health in Brazil. This Convention, approved in June 2006 during the 95th International Labor Conference, is the latest normative work of the ILO for the preventative occupational accidents and occupational diseases. This is a promotional normative framework of a new global strategy for the safe and healthy work environment. In this sense, it is defended the idea that the Convention 187 of the ILO is an important legality field that will be able to contribute, if ratified, to promote occupational health in Brazil. This infers that Brazil, through the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil and subsequent infra-constitutional laws (especially Law 8080/90), it has already initiated a standardization in which the prevention of occupational health should be carried out taking into account all the factors involved in the work environment. Such a prevention is in line with a new tutelage paradigm, which advocates the protection of the work environment in its full sense (emerging paradigm). However, it is identified that the current Brazilian model presents obstacles, seen as challenges, to a full protection of the work environment. These obstacles are mainly represented by the threshold limit values, the victim-blaming and the culture of PPE. Through the research, four elements can be identified in the ILO Convention 187 that may contribute to improving the tutelage for occupational health in Brazil, and consequently for a transition of paradigm in prevention. They are: 1) respect to a safe and healthy work environment, 2) active participation of workers, 3) rights system with defined responsibilities and duties, 4) highest priority to the principle of prevention.

Esta dissertação trata do processo de construção social da norma internacional, na área de segurança química. Partiu- se de uma realidade local --- a ocorrência de um acidente industrial ampliado --- e de seus impactos sobre o ambiente internacional. Nesse sentido, foi fundamental perceber aquela realidade local como um fato social, construído por meio de uma conscientização ambiental ou anuência coletiva mais ampla. Daquele processo de construção social, aliás, faz parte a constituição dessa consciência coletiva quanto às ameaças ambientais, fortalecida politicamente pelo aval da comunidade de Nações, quando das Conferências de Estocolmo (1972) e do Rio de Janeiro (1992). Por isso, seguindo parâmetros teóricos construtivistas, optou-se pela análise da forma como se deu o processo de construção ideacional e normativa mais abrangente, em matéria ambiental, nas relações internacionais contemporâneas; para, posteriormente, abordar a construção social do acidente e da norma gerada, parte daquele processo. Quanto à organização e à mobilização da sociedade civil, bem como quanto à influência dessa mobilização sobre os Estados, atribuiu-se destaque especial aos agentes de propagação de idéias, referidas à proteção ambiental e à segurança química, bem como a suas plataformas organizacionais. Para tanto, dada sua relevância social e empírica, escolheu- se, como objeto de estudo, o acidente industrial ampliado, ocorrido em 1984, na cidade de Bhopal, Índia; e a Convenção 174 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho para a prevenção de acidentes industriais ampliados.
This paperwork deals with the social construction process of the international norm in the chemical safety realm. The point of departure was a local reality -- the occurrence of a major industrial accident --- and its impacts on the international environment. The perception of that reality as a social fact, constructed from a wider environmental awareness or collective acquiescence, was essential. The constitution of that collective awareness is part of the referred social construction process and was politically strengthened by the international community when it assembled in the Stockholm Convention (1972) and the Rio Convention (1992). Following certain constructivist theoretical parameters, the wider ideational and normative scenario, related to environmental questions in the contemporary international relations, was first analysed. Afterwards, the focus was directed towards the social construction of the accident and the norm negotiated. In relation to the civil society organisation and mobilisation, as well as to its influence on state behaviour, it was given emphasis on the role of agents of environmental protection and chemical safety ideas and its organisational platforms. As per its social and empirical importance, it was chosen as object of analysis the major industrial accident, occurred in 1984, in Bhopal, India, and the Convention 174 of the International Labour Organization concerning the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents.

Ce qui caractérise la présente thèse de doctorat en droit c’est, tout d’abord, son objectif d’utilité sociale. C’est également une recherche tournée vers la technique et l’interdisciplinarité. A travers des prismes du droit international et du droit européen, il convient de s’interroger quant à l’attractivité du droit français face à des usages professionnels contractuels orientés vers le contrôle des armes et des intérêts économiques mondialisés. L’étude fournit des données chiffrées sur l’état de la piraterie maritime ainsi que des informations concrètes sur les activités de sûreté privée maritime. Elle décrit également les institutions et les instruments nationaux et internationaux pertinents. Puis, elle oppose pirates et gardes armés tout en assimilant la profession règlementée de gardes armés à la qualité de gens de mer. Enfin, l’étude traite des plus pertinentes conditions minimales requises pour le travail des gens de mer à bord d’un navire et des conditions d’emploi. Cette recherche inédite a nécessité l’utilisation des « casquettes » de doctorant, de consultant juridique et de président de l’UMMU. L’étude a ainsi été présentée à l’occasion de réunions organisées par la CNUCED, le NMIOTC, l’Assemblée nationale, l’IRSEM et l’Association européenne des avocats. Elle a également nécessité l’accès au port de Galle au Sri Lanka, au BIM en Malaisie, à l’OIT, à l’OMI et à la Représentation de la France auprès de cette organisation ainsi qu’au Palais de justice de Paris, au SGMer, au CNAPS, au ministère de la Transition écologique et solidaire et au MICA Center. Elle a enfin été complétée par l’observation d’une formation professionnelle d’agent proposée par la société Surtymar. Il résulte des travaux notamment les constats suivants : la France est le seul État à reconnaître la qualité de gens de mer aux gardes armés ; l’absence de représentation de ces travailleurs ne permet pas l’émergence du dialogue social ; le contrat type GUARDCON prime sur le droit français pourtant applicable ; les contrôles par l’État du pavillon et l’État du port seraient difficilement réalisables ; en matière de sécurité sociale, les agents devraient être rattachés à la loi française (loi du pavillon) ; en matière de contrats individuels de travail, les règles de conflit de lois et de juridictions trouvent difficilement à s’appliquer ; le dépistage des drogues est réalisable par le biais de la visite médicale et à bord du navire dans le cadre de la jurisprudence du travail ; d’ici la fin 2020, la France devrait avoir intégré la notion de « vol à main armée à l’encontre d’un navire ». Il ressort donc de cette étude l’importance de combler les zones d’insécurité juridique, d’établir le dialogue social entre les travailleurs, les employeurs et leur gouvernement et de respecter le cadre légal et règlementaire encadrant l’activité privée de protection de navires afin qu’elle s’étende efficacement de la lutte antipiraterie à l’antiterrorisme
What characterizes the present Doctoral thesis in Law is, first of all, its purpose of social utility. It is also a research focused on technical aspects along with an interdisciplinary perspective. Through the prisms of International Law and European Law, it is necessary to question the attractiveness of French Law in the face of contractual professional practices oriented towards arms control and globalized economic interests. The study provides accurate data on the incidence of maritime piracy as well as concrete information on private maritime security activities. It also the relevant institutions and relevant national and international regulations. Thereafter, it deals with pirates and armed guards while equating the regulated profession of armed guards with the status of seafarers. Lastly, the study deals with the most relevant minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship and the conditions of employment. This unpublished research required the author’s use of various casquettes including that of PhD candidate, legal consultant and UMMU president. The study has been presented at meetings organized by UNCTAD, NMIOTC, the French National Assembly, IRSEM and the European Association of Lawyers. It also required having access to the port of Galle in Sri Lanka, the IMB in Malaysia, the ILO, the IMO and the Representation of France to said organization, as well as to the Paris Court of Justice, the General Secretariat for the Sea, the CNAPS, the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition and the MICA Center. Lastly, it was supplemented by the observation of a professional training program of agents proposed by the Surtymar company. The results of the study show in particular the following: France is the only State to recognize armed guards as seafarers; the absence of representation of such workers does not allow the emergence of social dialogue; the GUARDCON standard contract takes precedence over French Law, which is nevertheless applicable; Flag State and Port State controls would be difficult to achieve; in the field of social security, agents should be attached to French Law (law of the Flag State); in individual employment contract matters, conflict of laws and jurisdiction rules are difficult to apply; detection of drugs is feasible through the medical check-up and aboard the ship as part of the labor jurisprudence; by the end of 2020, France should have incorporated in its national legislation the concept of “armed robbery against a ship”. This study highlights the importance of eliminating zones of legal uncertainty, establishing a social dialogue among workers, employers and their government and respecting the legal and regulatory framework for the private armed vessel protection activity so that it extends efficiently from the struggle against piracy to that against terrorism

This dissertation studies the importance of and need for freedom of trade unions as foreseen in Convention 87 of the International Labor Organization. By means of a historical digression the role and relevance of that organization and some aspects of the unions organization are considered with, as well as the legal and supra-legal barriers that hinder the implementation of the unions freedom in Brazil. Using a legal and philosophical approach, the question of freedom will be based, on the reflections of Hannah Arendt in her books The Human Condition and Between Past and Future , as well on the contribution of other authors
Esta dissertação estuda a importância e necessidade da liberdade sindical preconizada na Convenção 87 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho. Por meio de uma digressão histórica abordamos o papel e relevância dessa Organização e alguns aspectos da organização sindical, assim como as barreiras de ordem legal e supra legal que impossibilitam a implementação da liberdade sindical no Brasil. A questão da liberdade será fundamentada sob o enfoque jurídico e filosófico contido, nas reflexões de Hannah Arendt a partir de suas obras: A Condição Humana e Entre o Passado e o Futuro , e também com a contribuição de outros autores

The key research question explored in this study is: can a state attain its national economic development objectives and at the same time advance the rights of indigenous groups? Examines the tensions and prospects of the coexistence of both the rights of indigenous peoples in Africa and sustainable development with reference to selected case studies and approaches adopted by World Bank (WB) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).The broad objectives of the study are: (a) To examine the link between indigenous peoples’ rights and sustainable development, (b) To explore the manner in which the international legal framework and African human rights system responds to the problem of indigenous in development, (c) To analyse key case studies of indigenous rights and development in Kenya, Botswana, and South Africa and explore emerging approaches by the WB and UNDP, (d) To make proposals on mechanisms for mediating indigenous peoples’ rights and national development aspirations.

The present study is aimed at examining the impact of the constitutional theory of international human rights treaties on Convention number 158 of the International Labor Organization (ILO). The importance of this study is translated in an attempt to correlate part of the constitutional theory of human rights to national labor law for the application of appropriate standards. For this purpose, the study begins with an analysis of the conception and denomination of human rights for a better understanding of the topic. The origin of human rights is further assessed to confirm its progressiveness in time, which would certainly influence the manner in which these rights must be interpreted. Taking into account the historical evolution of human rights, these rights may be classified according to different generations and dimensions. Subsequently, a study on international treaties is conducted to observe whether the ILO Conventions are international treaties for human rights protection and the Federal Constitution is related to the International Human Rights Treaties. The study further analyzes the constitutional regime of human rights treaties (its hierarchical threshold in Brazilian law, formation, incorporation and denouncement) indicating the main theories about the subject. Furthermore, the study addresses the impact of human rights treaties on our legal system, and more specifically on Brazilian Labor Law. With this intent, Convention number 158 of the ILO is evaluated because it is a relevant and modern topic. The study also discusses the compatibility of rules predicted in Convention number 158 with constitutional precepts, in order to assess the constitutionality (or lack of constitutionality) of its content and its denunciation by the Brazilian State. In conclusion, after detailing precepts of the Convention, the study indicates doctrinal and jurisprudential criteria to compensate for the failure to apply Convention number 158/ILO
O presente trabalho destina-se ao estudo do impacto da teoria constitucional dos tratados internacionais sobre direitos humanos na Convenção 158 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT). Sua importância se traduz na tentativa de relacionar parte da teoria constitucional dos direitos humanos ao direito do trabalho nacional, para a aplicação da normativa correta. Para tanto, inicia-se com a análise da conceituação e da denominação dos direitos humanos para melhor compreensão do tema. Em seguida, verifica-se a origem dos direitos humanos para que seja comprovada sua progressividade no tempo, o que certamente influi na forma pela qual esses direitos devem ser interpretados. Levando em conta a evolução histórica dos direitos humanos, esses podem ser classificados segundo diferentes gerações ou dimensões. Posteriormente, é realizado estudo acerca dos tratados internacionais, observando-se as Convenções da OIT são tratados internacionais de proteção aos direitos humanos e relacionando a Constituição Federal com os Tratados Internacionais sobre Direitos Humanos. Em seguida, analisa o regime constitucional dos tratados de direitos humanos (seu patamar hierárquico no direito brasileiro, formação, incorporação e denúncia), apontando as principais teorias a respeito do tema. Ainda, trata do impacto dos tratados de direitos humanos em nosso ordenamento e, especificamente, no direito do trabalho brasileiro. Para tanto, estuda a Convenção 158 da OIT, pela relevância e atualidade do tema. Nesse sentido, discorre sobre a compatibilidade das normas previstas na Convenção 158 com os preceitos constitucionais, a fim de verificar a constitucionalidade ou não de seu conteúdo e de sua denúncia pelo Estado brasileiro. Por fim, após detalhar os preceitos da Convenção, aponta os critérios doutrinários e jurisprudenciais para que seja suprida a omissão decorrente da não aplicação da Convenção 158/OIT

The present study aims to address the dismission motivated in employment contract as the result of systemic hermeneutic national and international rules , in particular the core principle of human dignity of the worker.Defend the validity and applicability of ILO Convention 158 ; recognition of Article 7 , I, of the Constitution as a fundamental right of immediate application , subjective and horizontal effect ; and the incidence of the principle of the social function of work and objective good faith and its attachments duties of conduct as duty of cooperation , loyalty, solidarity and information as a basis for the employer s motivation when the labor contract termination.Following this hermeneutics maintain that no longer exists potestative the right to dismiss the employer but in reverse , in the balance between free enterprise and private property versus social value of labor, property and contract, among others; the fundamental right of the worker to the motivation of his termination prevails.
O presente estudo visa abordar a dispensa motivada trabalhista como fruto de hermenêutica sistêmica normativa nacional e internacional, em especial com fulcro no princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana do trabalhador. Defendemos a vigência e aplicabilidade da Convenção 158 da OIT; o reconhecimento do artigo 7º, I, da Constituição Federal como direito fundamental de aplicação imediata, eficácia subjetiva e horizontal; e a incidência do princípio da função social do trabalho e da boa-fé objetiva e seus deveres anexos de conduta como dever de colaboração, lealdade, solidariedade e informação como fundamentos para a motivação patronal quando da rescisão contratual trabalhista.Decorrente desta hermenêutica, defendemos que não mais subsiste o direito potestativo de dispensar do empregador mas ao reverso, na ponderação entre livre iniciativa e propriedade privada versus valor social do trabalho, da propriedade e do contrato, dentre outros; a prevalência do direito fundamental do trabalhador à motivação de sua rescisão contratual.

De par le monde, les intérêts des personnes travaillant à l’étranger sont tout à la fois méconnus et contestés. Le but de cette étude est de dégager les lignes de force qui sous-tendent, non sans contradictions ni crise la protection de ces personnes. En s’appuyant à la fois sur le droit (interne et international) camerounais et français, la thèse s’attache à démontrer que, nonobstant leur appartenance à des espaces géographiques différents et quel que soit leur niveau dedéveloppement économique, les Etats assurent un traitement juridique semblable aux migrants qui exercent une activité rémunérée sur leur territoire. La démarche d’ensemble de la prise en compte de la situation juridique des travailleursmigrants est caractérisée par le décalage qui existe entre un renforcement normatif de la protection d’une part et une effectivité limité de celle-ci d’autre part. Dans un premier temps, le renforcement du droit se déduit tout d’abord de ladiversité des règles juridiques applicables aux travailleurs migrants et de la dynamique des interactions entre celles-ci.Ensuite, l’affermissement de la protection résulte dune capacité de jouissance et d’exercice de droits par les travailleurs migrants de plus en plus étendue et d’une mise en balance (verticale ou horizontale) relativement harmonieuse desdroits reconnus. Dans un second temps, cette consolidation normative de la protection des travailleurs migrants peine à s’affirmer dans les faits. Cela tient avant tout au fait que les mécanismes de mise en oeuvre des droits des travailleursmigrants sont relativement insatisfaisants et que les acteurs concernés par cette protection sont inégalement impliqués. Le constat d’une effectivité limitée de la protection des travailleurs migrants découle aussi de la diversité des freins à laréalisation des droits des travailleurs migrants et des réformes à envisager dans l’optique d’une meilleure prise en compte des droits de cette catégorie de personnes. Au total, l’étude constitue un bilan particulièrement actuel des forces et des faiblesses (limites) du droit dans ces deux pays, pour autant que soit concerné la sauvegarde des intérêts de cette catégorie fragile de personnes que sont les travailleurs migrants. Elle permet de réaffirmer l’égalité juridique des individus, face à l’inégalité économique criarde des Etats. Ce qui conduit à conclure que, dans le domaine de la protection de l’humain, tous les Etats sont, àdivers degrés, sur un terrain d’apprentissage. C’est dire si le droit est lui-même un enjeu permanent de la protection de l’Homme en général et du travailleur migrant en particulier
All over the world, the interests of people working abroad are at once unknown and disputed. The purpose of this study is to identify the lines of force behind, not without contradictions crisis or protect these people. Based on French and Cameroon law ( domestic and international ), the thesis seeks to demonstrate that, despite their belonging to different geographical areas and whatever their level of economic development, states provide legal treatment similar to migrants who are gainfully employed in their territory. The overall approach of taking into account the legal status of migrant workers is characterized by the gap between normative strengthening protection on the one hand and limited effectiveness thereof other. At first, strengthening of the law is deduced firstly from the diversity of legal rules applicable to migrant workers and the dynamics of interactions between them. Second, the strengthening of protection results with a capacity of enjoyment and exercise of rights by migrant workers more scope and a balancing (vertical or horizontal) rather harmonious recognized rights. In a second step, this normative consolidation of protection of migrant workers sentence to assert the facts. This is primarily due to the fact that the mechanisms of implementation of the rights of migrant workers are relatively unsatisfactory and that the actors involved in this protection are unequallyinvolved. The finding of limited effectiveness of the protection of migrant workers also stems from the diversity of obstacles to realizing the rights of migrant workers and to consider reforms in the context of a greater consideration of the rights of this category of people. In short, the study is a particularly current assessment of strengths and weaknesses of the law in both countries, so far as is concerned to safeguard the interests of this vulnerable category of people that are migrant workers. It helps to reaffirm the legal equality of individuals facing the screaming economic inequality states. This leads to the conclusion that in the field of protection of human, all states are, to varying degrees, on a training ground. That is,if the law itself is an ongoing issue for the protection of human rights in general and migrant workers in particular

La importancia de la Jornada Atípica Acumulativa en la minería en nuestro país radica en que facilita mayores niveles de producción y utiliza para ello la fuerza laboral de los trabajadores mineros en ciclos de trabajo (o también llamados sistemas de trabajo) que consisten en períodos acumulativos de trabajo y que son compensados también con períodos acumulativos de descanso, pero para ello debe cumplirse con diversos parámetros constitucionales (Constitución Política de 1993, Sentencias del Tribunal Constitucional y Convenio 01 de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo - OIT) así como con diversos parámetros legales (TUO de la Ley de Jornada y su Reglamento, Consolidación de los Descansos Remunerados y su Reglamento) y otros parámetros interpretativos sumamente importantes (Directivas e Informes del Ministerio de Trabajo – MTPE). De contar con dichos parámetros la jornada atípica acumulativa en la minería será constitucionalmente y legalmente válida. Más, luego de precisar la constitucionalidad y legalidad de este tipo de jornada de trabajo, corresponde ahora definir algunos aspectos importantes de casuística respecto al cálculo de la Jornada Atípica Acumulativa en la Minería que servirán para despejar algunas dudas en este tema poco estudiado aún en el Derecho Laboral y en el Derecho Minero. Y finalmente corresponde desarrollar una propuesta normativa que regule todos los aspectos necesarios para la aplicación de este tipo especial de jornadas de trabajo.
The importance of Atypical Cumulative Working Day in mining in our country is that it facilitates increased production and uses for this labor force miners to work cycles (also called work systems) consisting of periods cumulative work and are also offset by cumulative periods of rest, but this should be met with various constitutional parameters (1993 Constitution, Constitutional Court rulings and Convention 01 of the International Labour Organization - ILO) as well as various legal parameters (Journey Act and Regulations, Consolidation of Remunerated Breaks and Regulations) and other highly important interpretative parameters (Directives and Reports of the Ministry of Labour - MLEP). To have these parameters cumulative atypical journey in mining will be constitutionally and legally valid. Moreover, after specifying the constitutionality and legality of this type of working day, it is now necessary to define some important aspects of casuistry regarding the calculation of the Cumulative Atypical Working Day in Mining that will serve to clear up some doubts in this little studied subject still in the Labor Law and Mining Law. And finally it corresponds to develop a normative proposal that regulates all the necessary aspects for the application of this special type of working days.

Guyana’s REDD+ model features the placement of almost all of the country’s rainforest under long-term protection in return for monetary incentives that will be used to move the country along a low carbon development trajectory. It is a model of forestry preservation and sustainable development that the Government of Guyana is developing in partnership with the Government of Norway. This model of development is part of the global climate change mitigation scheme, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation plus (REDD+). REDD+ is a series of initiatives focused on/in developing countries seeking to diminish carbon dioxide emissions caused by deforestation and degradation, processes recognized as being one of the leading causes of climate change. It aims to dramatically reduce these emissions by creating an incentive mechanism that will pay developing countries to halt destructive processes that lead to deforestation and degradation. Guyana’s REDD+ model has significant implications for Amerindians who occupy the forested regions of Guyana, where most REDD+ related activities are scheduled to take place. Although this model is developing in a context where the legal and political regime governing Amerindians is weak, the treatment of Amerindians in REDD+ development leaves much to be desired in terms of both recognition and protection of important human rights. This Thesis reviews Guyana’s pioneering REDD+ model to show that it is failing to safeguard Amerindian rights recognized under international human rights law. Within the framework of the law, it argues that Guyana’s actions are contrary to its international obligations regarding indigenous peoples. Appropriate measures that should be adopted by Guyana to safeguard Amerindian rights are explored and proposed in this thesis. Possible measures that can be adopted by Norway, the World Bank, and the international community to motivate Guyana to undertake reforms are also examined.

The first discussion of the question of contract labour took place at the 85th Session (1997) of the International Labour Conference. The International Labour Office prepared and communicated to the governments of member States a report containing a proposed Convention and a proposed Recommendation concerning contract labour, based on the conclusions adopted by the Conference at its 85thSession.based on this proposal text, named "Contract Labour Convention" and "Contract Labour Recommendation", "contract labour" was defined as "work performed for a natural or legal person (referred to as a "user enterprise") by a person (referred to as a "contract worker") where the work is performed by the worker personally under actual conditions of dependency on or subordination to the user enterprise and these conditions are similar to those that characterize an employment relationship under national law and practice and where either: (1) the work is performed pursuant to a direct contractual arrangement between the worker and the user enterprise; or (2) the worker is provided for the user enterprise by a subcontractor or an intermediary", resembling a specific relationship between "contract of service" and "contract for service". But the amendments or comments from member government of ILO were very complicated and strict, main confusion as follow: will the proposal Convention result in a brand new type of workers or "third category" of workers out of independent contractor and traditional employee? Will so called "contract worker" entitle to be covered by labour law and enjoy full employee''s right? Will an ILO instrument that deals with matters outside the direct employment relationship be inconsistent with current commercial law and practice and the policy of reducing the regulatory burden on business or improving employment opportunities? Would Contract labour be an extremely broad and complicated issue? Although lots of member governments took a oppositive position, but for the purpose of worker protection, "Contract Labour Convention" set up a new equal playing rule, might be too advanced but would be helpful and just. Although "Contract Labour Convention" still didn''t be approved by ILC, but through analyzing and discussing the proposal Convention text, we would realize the trend of future labour market and the expectancy of ILO. After analyzing national law structure and judgments of court and finding the inconsistent with proposal Convention, we would work out the problems and improve the protection of so-called "contract worker".

Les relations de travail et d'emploi sont devenues des enjeux importants en Chine. La Chine a ratifié 25 conventions internationales du travail et a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec l'OIT pour améliorer la sécurité et la santé au travail. Malgré ces efforts, la Chine est souvent critiquée pour des violations du travail. Face à ces problèmes, un système législatif d'administration de travail a été développé au niveau national. Mais l’application de ces règlements demeure problématique.. En particulier, les difficultés rencontrées par les inspecteurs du travail dans l'application de ces lois constituent un élément clé du problème. Notre mémoire s'intéresse essentiellement au rôle de l'inspecteur du travail dans l'administration publique de la sécurité du travail en Chine. Ces fonctionnaires jouent un rôle important et peuvent parfois exercer leur discrétion en tant qu'acteurs de première ligne, faisant d'eux de vrais décideurs politiques. Par conséquent, la compréhension de leur rôle et de leur discrétion dans l'application des normes du travail en Chine est cruciale. Notre mémoire est centré sur une étude de cas qualitative d'un bureau d'inspection du travail dans la région de Beijing. Dans le cadre de notre recherche nous avons examiné le rôle des inspecteurs du travail au moyen d’entretiens semi-structurés, d’une recherche documentaire ainsi qu’à l’occasion d’une brève observation des inspecteurs sur lors de la visite d’un lieu de travail. Les résultats démontrent que la définition du pouvoir discrétionnaire des inspecteurs du travail de première ligne en Chine est un enjeu très complexe. L’étude de cas permet cependant d’élaborer un cadre permettant l’identification des facteurs critiques déterminants pour l'évaluation et la compréhension de la nature du pouvoir discrétionnaire de l'inspecteur du travail en application de la loi.
Labour and employment relations have become important issues in China. China has ratified 25 international labour conventions and has worked closely with the ILO to improve occupational safety and health. Despite these efforts, China is often criticized for labour violations. China has in response built a relatively complete legal and regulatory picture of labour regulations nationwide. The problem facing China today is enforcing these laws and regulations. A key part of this problem is the critical question of examining the challenges faced by labour inspectors in implementing these laws. This research project focuses on the role of labour inspection in the public administration of work safety in China. These public servants play an important role and may at times exercise their own discretion as street-level actors, making them the real policy decision makers. Consequently, understanding their role and discretion in the application of labour standards in China is crucial. This research is a qualitative case study of one labour inspection office in the Beijing area and examines the role of labour inspectors through semi-structured interviews, documents, and a brief observation of labour inspectors on-the-job. The results indicate that defining the discretionary power of street-level labour inspectors in China is a very complex task, but a framework is developed through this case study to identify critical issues important to evaluating and understanding the nature of street-level labour inspector discretion in enforcement.

RESUMO: O trabalho doméstico sempre foi importante para a economia global, sendo uma das principais formas de inserção de mulheres, jovens e migrantes no mercado de trabalho. Apesar disso, ao longo do tempo os trabalhadores domésticos foram subvalorizados e excluídos da proteção jurídico-trabalhista que, paulatinamente, foi sendo atribuída aos demais trabalhadores na grande maioria dos ordenamentos. Este estudo busca empreender um exame acerca do trabalho doméstico, centrado na análise jurídica, mas sem deixar de propor um breve exame sociológico e histórico relevante para a compreensão de muitas das questões jurídicas que pautam a matéria. Para tanto, e com a consciência de que a delimitação de um estudo é indispensável para sua boa concepção, optou-se por cingir a análise a dois enfoques: o mais amplo, de direito internacional, voltado para o estudo da Convenção nº 189 da OIT (Organização Internacional do Trabalho) de 2011, sobre o trabalho decente para os trabalhadores domésticos e da Recomendação nº 201 que a acompanha, e um mais restrito, direcionado a uma análise detalhada do direito interno, com o intuito de tratar do regime jurídico do contrato de serviço doméstico em Portugal, atualmente estabelecido no Decreto-Lei nº 235/92. Por último, buscar-se-á fazer um paralelo entre as disposições contidas na lei doméstica e as diretrizes propostas pela OIT na convenção e recomendação adotadas em 2011, com vistas a verificar se o direito interno se encontra em conformidade (adequado) com a nova agenda para o trabalho doméstico traçada pela OIT. Ao final, espera-se que o trabalho possa contribuir para despertar maior interesse sobre o tema, reforçando a necessidade já vislumbrada pela OIT de ampliar a proteção jurídica conferida aos trabalhadores domésticos como forma de melhorar suas condições de trabalho e dignificar a categoria.
ABSTRACT: Domestic work has always been important for the global economy, being one of the main ways of inserting women, young people and migrants in the labor market. Despite this, over time domestic workers were undervalued and excluded from the legal-labor protection that, gradually, was attributed to other workers in the vast majority of the legal systems. This study seeks to undertake an examination about domestic work, centered on legal analysis, but without proposing a brief sociological and historical examination, relevant to the understanding of many of the juridical issues that govern the subject. To this end, and with the awareness that the delimitation of a study is indispensable for its good conception, it was decided to gird the analysis in two approaches: the broader one, of international law, focused on the study of ILO (International Labor Organization) Convention 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers throughout the world and Recommendation No. 201 which accompanies it, and a more restricted one, aimed at a detailed analysis of domestic law, in order to deal with the legal regime of the domestic work contract in Portugal, currently established in DL No. 235/92. Lastly, the speech will seek to draw a parallel between the provisions of domestic law and the guidelines proposed by the ILO’s convention and recommendation adopted in 2011, in order to verifying whether domestic law is in conformity (adequate) with the new agenda for domestic work outlined by ILO. At the end, it is expected that the work will contribute to raising awareness of the issue, reinforcing the need, already envisaged by the ILO, to extend the legal protection afforded to domestic workers as a way to improve their working conditions and dignify the category.

Le travail domestique est une des formes d’emploi les plus anciennes au monde. Au Brésil, ce type de service tire son origine de l’esclavage, technique d’exploitation économique qui a marqué l’histoire du pays durant environ 400 (quatre cents) ans. Encore au XXIème siècle, le travail domestique est sous-évalué et peine à être reconnu comme un vrai travail. La législation nationale a progressé au point de reconnaitre aux employés de maison les mêmes droits dont jouissent les autres salariés (amendement constitutionnel, 2013). Le droit international du travail joue un rôle crucial dans l’encadrement de la situation des travailleuses domestiques au monde. La Convention concernant le travail décent pour les travailleurs et travailleuses domestiques (n° 189) et la Recommandation n° 201 l’accompagnant de l’Organisation internationale du travail (OIT) occupent une place importante dans la promotion du travail décent aux travailleurs domestiques. Malgré l’existence de normes – nationales et internationales – importantes, la problématique de la condition de travail et de vie des travailleuses domestiques au Brésil va au-delà de la législation, impliquant la notion culturelle de dévalorisation du travail domestique, cette même conception qui associe le travail à domicile à l’esclavage.
Domestic work is one of the oldest forms of employment in the world. In Brazil, this type of service has its roots in slavery, an economic exploitation technique that has marked the history of the country for about 400 (four hundred) years. Even in the XXI century, domestic work is undervalued and barely recognized as a real job. National legislation has progressed to the point of recognizing domestic workers the same rights enjoyed by other employees (Constitutional Amendment, 2013). The International labor law has a crucial importance in the supervision of the situation of domestic workers in the world. The Convention Concerning Decent Work for Domestic Workers (n° 189) and the Recommendation n° 201 of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) play a key role in promoting decent work for domestic workers. Despite the existence of relevant national and international standards, the matter of working and living conditions of domestic workers in Brazil goes beyond the legislation because it involves the notion of cultural devaluation of domestic work, the same idea that associates home work to slavery.
