Abstract

This chapter examines the concept and need for job security and job protection especially for temporary contracts based on three international/United Nation’s instruments, namely, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR. Job security is an abstract concept which is often not directly mentioned by international instruments and should be examined in the context of other related concepts. Security covers various aspects and this book focuses on job security.
