Abstract
The book presents a concise compilation of applicable ILO Conventions in Nigeria and a treatise of the legal regime defining the application of these international instruments by our local courts. The treatise addresses key issues in the application of ILO Conventions in Nigeria. These include the relationship between international treaties and domestic law; the existence of an international labor code; Nigeria’s bilateral and multilateral relations in international labour law; modalities of applying ILO conventions in the determination of workers’ rights; and the role of the courts in complying with international labour standards. It challenges trade unionists, labour lawyers and judges to adopt a proactive and resourceful approach in the interpretation and enforcement of employment and labour rights generally. Each of the current Conventions applicable in Nigeria are presented with an editorial which embodies official ILO interpretations of the aim and objectives of the Conventions.
