The gradual development of child labor rights in the light of The European Court of Human Rights

The emergence of international norms aimed at protecting children is one of the most significant developments in modern international law. In this regard, the abolition of child labor was one of the most important developments that were followed by the General Conference of the International Labor Organization after the formation of the League of Nations. Today, one of the four fundamental principles of fundamental labor rights in the 1998 Declaration of Fundamental Rights is “the abolition of the worst forms of child labor”. On the other hand, in recent years, one of the most important tools for the development of human rights has been the interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights, which is presented by the European Court of Human Rights. Therefore, in this study, the question arises: “To what extent has the European Court of Human Rights ruled in the development of the rights of working children?” In conclusion, this hypothesis has been confirmed that “the court, with a static interpretation approach and by referring its judgments to the main sources of international law, plays an influential role in the development of the rights of working children, albeit gradually. ” The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical and library tools, documents and electronic resources have been used to collect data.
