Article 19 Verdrag inzake luchtdiensten tussen de Regering van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Regering van de Republiek Benin

1 The Contracting Parties recognise the importance of considering the effects of this Agreement on labour, employment and working conditions and agree to cooperate on labour matters within the scope of this Agreement, inter alia in relation to impacts on employment, fundamental rights at work, working conditions, social protection, and social dialogue.

2 The Contracting Parties recognise the right of each Contracting Party to establish its own level of domestic labour protection as it deems appropriate, and to adopt or modify accordingly its relevant laws and policies, consistent with its international obligations. The Contracting Parties shall ensure that the rights and principles contained in their respective laws and regulations are not undermined but effectively enforced.

3 Each Contracting Party shall continue to improve laws and policies as referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article and shall strive towards providing and encouraging high levels of labour protection in the aviation sector. The Contracting Parties recognise that the violation of fundamental principles and rights at work cannot be invoked or otherwise used as a legitimate comparative advantage and that labour standards should not be used for protectionist purposes.

4 The Contracting Parties reaffirm their commitment, in accordance with their obligations arising from their membership in the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (1998), as amended in 2022, to respect, to promote and to realise the principles concerning the fundamental rights and principals at work.

5 The Contracting Parties shall promote the objectives included in the ILO Decent Work Agenda and in the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization (2008), as amended in 2022, as well as the ILO and ICAO Conclusions and recommendations on the promotion of decent work to shape a green, sustainable and inclusive economic recovery for the civil aviation sector concluded during the ILO technical meeting between ILO and ICAO held in Geneva in April 2023.

6 The Contracting Parties agree to increase the cooperation between civil aviation authorities, labour authorities and other relevant public or private institutions, aimed at exchanging information and sharing best practices.

7 Each Contracting Party undertakes to make best endeavours towards ratifying and effectively implementing, if it has not yet done so, the fundamental ILO conventions. The Contracting Parties will also work towards the ratification and effective implementation of other ILO conventions and international standards in the labour and social domain of relevance for the civil aviation sector, taking into account domestic circumstances.

8 The Contracting Parties shall promote gender balance, non-discrimination, and equality for all, notably through policies that improve access for women and other underrepresented groups of workers to work and career progression in technical roles and leadership positions.
