Vietnam: Competition Law Fact Sheet
Overview of the main provisions of the Competition Law, and discussion of the enforcement regime and recent enforcement trends.
Global | Publication | November 2019
Initially approved by the Mexican Senate in September 2018, Convention 098 (“the Convention”) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) – on the Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining – is set to formally become fully effective in Mexico on November 23, 2019.
The Convention, one of the so-called ILO fundamental conventions, provides a set of guiding principles on collective bargaining, protection against discrimination based on union affiliation, and rights of employees to organize.
Although some of these principles were previously embodied in the Mexican labor and employment legal framework (that has been historically regarded to be markedly pro-employee), the formal entry into force of the Convention in Mexico supplements a set of amendments to Mexico’s Federal Labor Law enacted this past May that, among other things, sought to further regulate and protect Mexican unions. See our publication on these amendments.
The formal entry into force of the Convention marks the latest development in labor and employment regulation in Mexico, following a substantial overhaul in late 2012 and the set of amendments from earlier this year. However, it seems that the changes in the Mexican labor and employment legal framework are set to continue under the new Federal Administration, as a very controversial proposal to further regulate (and in some cases, criminalize) employment subcontracting and outsourcing is being discussed in the Mexican Congress.
Norton Rose Fulbright will closely track new developments and provide further updates as necessary.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
