International Labour Organization 165d ago

This lecture focusses on the question of relations between international organizations (IOs), or inter-organizational relations, and in particular the role of law in regulating or shaping those relations. The overall goal of the lecture is to argue that an analysis of inter-organizational relations is crucial to understanding how IOs change and adapt, as well as understanding how the international legal order as a whole evolves over time.

About the Wilfred Jenks Lecture Series The Wilfred Jenks Lecture Series is an initiative of the Office of the Legal Adviser of the International Labour Organization (ILO) aimed at sparking academic reflection, disseminating knowledge and raising awareness about the ILO’s mandate and its legal and normative work. It also seeks to strengthen the ILO’s long-standing ties with legal scholars and practitioners. This initiative has its origins in the ILO100 Law for Social Justice academic conference, which took place in 2019 during the celebrations of the ILO’s centenary and which resulted in the ILO100 Law for Social Justice publication. The story of CW Jenks’ over 40 years of service exemplifies the foresight and leadership needed.
