Abstract Most national legislation, as well as the standards set by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) through Conventions and Recommendations covers many different aspects of the employment relationship. These range from the right not to be dismissed arbitrarily to the methods governments should use to collect labour statistics. However, in order to develop a strategic approach to labour standards that is applicable to a wide range of circumstances and addresses the most urgent or instrumentally important issues, it is necessary to identify a core group of labour rights which will always be addressed. This is assuming that a wider category of rights will be implemented in addition to this minimum wherever possible.
