Social Justice Globally: The ILO Experience
42nd Käte Hamburger Lecture
In the over 100 years of its existence the International Labour Organization (ILO) has never been able to fully shed the ambivalence enshrined into its mission: to promote internationally accepted standards of social justice and, at the same time, help steer the direction of a world economic system headed for (capitalist) globalization.  Looking at the ILO’s track record of engagement with multinational corporations reveals that private actors with a highly international profile are capable of circumventing social justice policies. By spotlighting debates of the 1970s to regulate the activities of multinational corporations–a call raised as part of the New International Economic Order– and President Biden’s calls for taxing them today, Prof. Sandrine Kott will trace this tension that has tainted the global attainment of its goals in the past and show how limits to enforce social rights globally still affect the ILO’s work today.
