	International Labour Law
		A treaty, the typical instrument of international relations, is defined by the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties as an "agreement concluded between States in written form and governed by international law, whether embodied in a single instrument or in two or more related instruments and whatever its particular designation".
		In addition to the international commitments to which they may give rise, international labour standards can serve as a general guide and as a source of inspiration to governments by virtue of their authority as texts adopted by an assembly composed of representatives of governments, employers and workers of nearly all countries of the world.
		A 1992 directive concerning the implementation of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of pregnant workers, women workers who have recently given birth, and women who are breastfeeding includes a number of provisions concerning the tasks of such workers, their working hours, right to take leave, and so on (see summary).

	On the rebellions in the working-class suburbs of France
		Despite severe repression, in 1976 rent strikes by workers at Sonacotra, protesting against lamentable housing conditions, and then strikes by whole families in the “transit houses” made it possible to tear down the temporary housing.
		Repression, which very seldom touches capitalists, on the other hand falls on illegal workers the hardest, hit with legal orders to be taken to the border, locked up in detention centers, expelled by force from the country, and consequently placed in competition with the new illegal workers who enter by channels organized by big business.
		What is in play regarding this solidarity with the demands of the young people of the suburbs consists of coordinating the traditional struggles of the workers in France—whether they are French-born, immigrants or foreigners—with those of the other sectors of the popular classes: the economically disadvantaged, the unemployed, the undocumented, the homeless, those without rights.

	The Socialist Workers Party Pamphlet 1993 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Such shifts are characteristic of the entire history of the SWP and of the International Socialists (IS), its forerunner.
		This theory, which claims that the USSR and the degenerated workers' states are capitalist and that the bureaucracy is a collective capitalist class owning and controlling the entire economy, is the fundamental basis of the SWP's politics.
		Its international co-thinkers all agree that the USSR is a capitalist country and are content to unite with the SWP on that basis alone.

		Don Walsh is president of the Oregon-based consulting practice International Maritime Inc. Since 1973 he has worked as a lecturer, naturalist, and staff member during nearly 100 cruises--on board 27different cruise ships operated by 15 different companies.

	The Workers League and the founding of the Socialist Equality Party
		In reviving the labor party demand, the Workers League was striving to reassert the central and leading role of the American working class in the struggle against US capitalism and, at the same time, to elaborate a viable strategy for the development of the revolutionary movement.
		Briefly, in presenting this party to the working class, we must explain that its goal is the establishment of a workers government: and by that we mean a government for the workers, of the workers and by the workers.
		That is, the Workers League shall intervene in the 1996 elections with presidential and congressional candidates.

	1993 Human Rights Report: ALGERIA
		Of some 9,000 people detained in 8 camps in 1992, roughly 800 remained under detention in 2 camps by the end of 1993, despite the Government's pledges to close the camps and either release or try in a court of law the remaining detainees, who were detained without benefit of legal representation or due process.

		In addition, U.S. international ocean-shipping regulatory reform, enacted in October 1998, is expected to increase competition among carriers serving U.S. international waterborne commerce.
