“…Moreover, by definition, international labour law's transnational uses will span a broad range of institutional settings, from regional human rights courts to multilateral trade and financial institutions and corporate social responsibility initiatives. However, transnational experimentation quickly confirms the significance of the ILO's convenor function, and the dialogic role that it enables tripartite and other interested actors to play (Maupain, 2013;Boisson de Chazournes, 2015;Blackett, 2019a). The ILO is particularly well placed to create spaces in which social-justice-based alternatives may emerge.…”

This Special Issue on transnational labour law is placed in the context of the ILO centenary and the challenge of achieving the objective of decent work in a new century, under distinct transnational pressures. The author argues that international labour law, as the normative core of transnational labour law, can play a crucial role – in conjunction with a wide range of actors and the ILO in its standard‐setting and convenor capacities – in addressing this challenge and in reshaping the transnational legal architecture.

“…Además, por definición, los usos transnacionales del derecho internacional del trabajo abarcarán una multiplicidad de entornos institucionales, desde los tribunales regionales de derechos humanos hasta las instituciones comerciales y financieras multilaterales y las iniciativas de responsabilidad social de las empresas. Sin embargo, la experimentación transnacional confirma rápidamente la importancia de la función coordinadora de la OIT, así como de la función dialógica que permite desempeñar a los actores tripartitos y a otros actores interesados (Maupain, 2013;Boisson de Chazournes, 2015;Blackett, 2019a. La OIT está particularmente bien situada para crear espacios en los que puedan surgir alternativas basadas en la justicia social.…”

Resumen Se sitúa aquí el número monográfico 2020‐4 de la RIT, sobre los futuros transnacionales del derecho internacional del trabajo, en el contexto del centenario de la OIT y del reto de lograr el objetivo del trabajo decente en un nuevo siglo y bajo presiones transnacionales específicas. La autora sostiene que el derecho internacional del trabajo, como núcleo normativo del derecho transnacional del trabajo, puede desempeñar un papel crucial para ayudar a los múltiples actores involucrados, entre ellos, la OIT en sus funciones normativa y de coordinación, a afrontar el reto y remodelar la arquitectura jurídica transnacional.

“…The first fosters preferential trade access to country-wide textile industries in a number of small, open economies of the global South, to engender continuous improvement in labor standards via Better Factories -Better Work programs. 38 It relies on the ILO's dialogic or convenor function 39 to influence labor law reform and strengthen labor compliance. The initiative may well force the ILO to tackle the thorny but unavoidable issue of living wages in this highly competitive and volatile sector, following the precedent of the pathbreaking ILO work on wages in the maritime industry.…”

The economic mandate of the “misnamed” International Labour Organization (ILO) has long been “othered” internationally. The ILO's 1944 constitutional annex, the Declaration of Philadelphia, confirms the ILO's “responsibility … to examine and consider all international economic and financial policies and measures in the light of th[e] fundamental objective” of lasting peace on the basis of social justice. After 1945, through decolonization, and prior to the emergence of a Washington consensus-based neoliberal globalization, the ILO enabled some states to mediate the “social” in economic regulation—that is, to adopt free trade economic liberalism promoted transnationally with social redistribution addressed domestically, also referred to as embedded liberalism. States established and harmonized international labor standards through multilateral processes steeped in an organizational tripartism that made workers’ and employers’ representatives ILO institutional actors alongside governments. At least in the global North, the ILO fostered a high degree of normative convergence nationally, regionally, and on shop floors. For the first Director-General, Albert Thomas, the ILO “taught the world to speak something like the same language on social questions.” Its approach has been nuanced, pragmatic, and transnational, taking leadership on issues like social protection that should also have been—but were not—the focus of other international economic institutions.
