On May 21, 2026, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a non-binding, but significant and highly-anticipated, ruling that Convention 87 of the International Labour Organization (ILO) includes the right to strike. On its face, Convention 87 protects “freedom of association” in the workplace. The text of Convention 87 does not mention strikes, which was a deliberate feature of the text from the Convention's negotiations. The ICJ nonetheless determined that the right to strike is an “implicit corollary” of that freedom, which is necessary to make the freedom fully effective. Critically, however, the ICJ very clearly also stated that its decision did not “entail any determination on the precise content, scope, or conditions for the exercise of [the right to strike].”
