The principle pf protection as a principle of international labor law

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the Principle of Protection as a Principle of International Labor Law and its application to International Labor Contracts, given the precariousness of working conditions, under the current perspective issued by the International Labor Organization - ILO. We will base this principle on the grounds of the employee's inadequacy given the need to protect the most vulnerable part of the relationship in question, as means of safeguarding the dignity of the human person, in this case, the worker. This is intended to protect the worker from the employer's arbitrariness. Given the current deterioration in working conditions, it is important to understand its content as a guiding principle applicable as a General Rule of International Labor Law.
