Child labour remains a widespread problem around the world. Over
200 million children can be regarded as child labourers, and about
10 million children are involved in producing either agricultural
or manufactured products for export. Franziska Humbert explores the
status of child labour in international law. Offering a
wide-ranging analysis of the problem, she explores the various UN
and ILO instruments and reveals the weaknesses of the current
frameworks installed by these bodies to protect children from
economic exploitation. After assessing to what extent trade
measures such as conditionalities, labelling and trade restrictions
and promotional activities can reduce child labour, she suggests an
alternative legal framework which takes into account the needs of
children.
