Abstract

In this contribution I will investigate whether something is wrong with international social standards and if so, what exactly is wrong, and what are the best ways to remedy the defects. I will do so with respect to the social standards developed by global international organisations, i.e. the United Nations and the International Labour Organization (ILO)
