Social clause
Within the context of international trade, a social clause is the integration of sustainability standards, such as the core ILO labour rights conventions into trade agreements, whilst within the context of public procurement a social clause is a contract clause which requires the provider of goods or services to a public body to meet a social objective in the course of performing their obligations.[1]
During the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference of 1996, it became clear that no multilateral social clause would be adopted.[2] There are social clauses in bilateral and plurilateral agreements.
