#Tradeagreements increasingly reference @ilo instruments, leaving enforcement of int'l labor law to gov'ts. Why doesn't the ILO protest or create its own authoritative tribunal? It tried to. It was a pleasure to contribute to @TrebilcockAnne & Brian Langille's book 👇 1/

The book also has fascinating contributions from @SteveCharnovitz, Jan Klabbers, @OlneyShauna, @FranzCh50158949 @vmantouvalou, @AdelleBlackett, @TNovitz, & others not on Twitter.
