| 英文摘要 |
The purpose of this article is to make a critical analysis of the Violence and Harassment Convention adopted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) when it celebrated the centenary of its establishment in 2019. In addition to introductory and concluding remarks, the contents are divided into four sections. Section one traces development backgrounds, severity, and negative impacts on employees, employers and business entities themselves of various forms of workplace aggressions, such as discrimination, sexual harassment, violence and workplace bullying. It also discusses why traditional labor law regime cannot cope effectively with this new phenomenon in the workplace. Section two reviews a number of efforts made by the ILO in the field of occupational safety and health to deal with these issues in the earlier periods, including promulgated related international labor conventions and recommendations, relevant research programs engaged, and numerous guidelines and guidance issued to the stakeholders. Section three delves into the legislative backgrounds, important provisions and their future impacts on member states of this important international labor convention. Section four compares this convention with the efforts made by the European Union and the United States in order to evaluate its merits, shortcomings and controversial aspects. It also points out that since the newly amended Occupational Safety and Health Art in Taiwan has also imposed strict liability on local employers to prevent and correct these mistreatments of their employees while at work, experiences from the ILO in this field can certainly provide useful guidance for Taiwan when it tries to cope with these new issues in the workplace.
