  abstract = {. {W}hile the {WTO} and {D}oha {D}evelopment {R}ound do not deal with labour issues they leave this to the {ILO} the main countries that conclude free trade agreements incorporate labour provisions, which vary in terms of stringency. {S}anctions are rarely used, and fears that social clauses would serve protectionist purposes have proved to be unfounded. {L}abour provisions are designed to meet a variety of sometimes conflicting goals, by means of different mechanisms aimed at improving labour practices and promoting {D}ecent {W}ork; the author makes a number of suggestions in this regard.},
