Abstract

This article intends to provide an overview of the role of International Labor Law in the defense of Labor rights. In short, the present paper aims to analyze the meaning of the International Labor Law and the social rights stated as fundamental rights by International Labor Organization - ILO within the human rights and globalization context. The constitutionalization of social rights represented a normative advance in the social rights. Adopting the historical perspective of evaluation, one defends the relevancy of the human rights notion to the social rights notion. From a globalization perspective, in which the national states lose power, a worldwide social declaration rekindles debates over the value of labor in the society, the theories of justice that justify it, and over the effectiveness and financing of these social rights. This study is divided into two chapters. The first one views an overall notion of human and social rights, the evolution of the international labor law and its linkage to the human rights. From the premises it is important to define which fundamental human rights model is implied in the ILO declaration of 1998. The second chapter points out the political, economical, juridical e cultural limits to the connection between the International Labor Law and the human rights over a critical view.
