International Conference on Labor Law

On April 28-29, the International Club of Labor Law Journals (ICLLJ) hosted an International colloquium at the Kluwer's Building in the Hague, Netherlands. The ICLLJ, an academic society organized during the mid-1980's by major labor law magazine editors and concerned scholars of industri-alized nations, has sponsored conferences to promote consultations on cooperative relations and strengthen networks of labor law magazines. Along with these conferences, the ICLLJ has held international colloquiums on comparative labor law since 1993.

This year, Professor Lammy Betten of the University of Utrecht (Editor-in-chief of the International Journal for Comparative Labor Law and Industrial Relations) made extensive arrangements for the colloquium under the theme of "the Role of the Contract in Future Labor Relations." The discussion covered such topics as the development and role of the individual employment contract, the relationship of the employment contract with the collective bargaining agreement, and an agenda for the 1990s. After the presentation of national reporters, a panel discussion was held, chaired by Professor Max Rood of the University of Leiden. The audience also engaged in very fruitful discussion. The next colloquium will be held in Tokyo.
