Course Information
In the recent past, bilateral labour agreements such as bilateral agreements and memorandums of understanding on labour migration have gained prominence as tools facilitating the cross-border movement of workers. While bilateral agreements can play an important role in ensuring that the labour rights of migrant workers are protected, in practice they exhibit a number of shortcomings regarding their design, content, monitoring, implementation and impact. In response to these challenges and opportunities, the International Training Centre of the ILO (Turin Campus, Italy) announces its upcoming course on Negotiating Bilateral Labour Agreements, with a view to increasing the potential of BLAs to improve governance of labour migration, promote and protect the rights of migrant workers, and enhancing migration and development linkages. This course aims also to reinforce the negotiation skills and techniques of officials who may work in the adoption and follow up of bilateral and/or multilateral agreements.
