The Right to Work in International Law of the Twentieth Century
The Right to Work in International Law of the Twentieth Century

Summary/Abstract: Ensuring the observance of human rights is a challenge faced by both international and domestic entities. This paper focuses on one of the individual’s most important social rights, i.e. the right to work. The most essential international legislation of the twentieth century is discussed in the context of the aforementioned right. It occupies a special place in the documents of the United Nations, the International Labour Organisation, as well as the Council of Europe. Moreover, the Catholic social doctrine (especially John Paul II’s teaching) emphasizes a person’s right to work, which not only ensures their and their family’s livelihood, but also facilitates their comprehensive development.
