Research project: The application and interpretation of International Labour Organization Conventions by the Brazilian and European domestic courts: a study of comparative law

As one of the founding members on International Labour Organization (ILO), Brazil has ratified many conventions adopted by the international organization. The provisions of these conventions have raised many controversial issues in Brazilian domestic courts, such as the incorporation of international law in municipal law and the role of international law in guaranteeing social rights to the individuals. In order to assess the meaning and reach of these conventions in the Brazilian domestic system, I would like to develop a comparative analysis on this topic, especially with European States. Many reasons justify this choice. First, the European States have ratified a significant number of ILO conventions and have inspired many of them. In addition, labour law in the European States is generally more protective than the Brazilian labour law. It is important to study how States that have a longer tradition in labour law have interpreted and applied the ILO conventions.
