Top UN court says right to strike protected in key labour treaty

The top United Nations court ruled Thursday that the right to strike was protected in a key treaty of the International Labour Organisation, a decision that could have profound implications for global labour relations.

The International Court of Justice had been asked to deliver an advisory opinion on whether an ILO treaty from 1948, known as Convention 87, implicitly enshrined workers' right to strike.

ICJ president Yuji Iwasawa said the court was "of the opinion that the right to strike of workers and their organisations is protected" under that convention.
