the judgment 54 disregarding stated in the chapter on "Progressive Development", i.e., Article 30 of the Charter of the OAS, which provides: Article 30 “The Member States, inspired by the principles of inter-American solidarity and cooperation, pledge themselves to a united effort to ensure 55 international social justice in their relations and integral development for their peoples, as conditions essential to peace and security. Integral development encompasses the economic, social, educational, cultural, scientific, and technological fields, through which the goals that each country sets for accomplishing it should be achieved.” 13. Likewise, Article 34 states that: Article 34 "The Member States agree that equality of opportunity, the elimination of extreme poverty, equitable distribution of wealth and income and the full participation of their peoples in decisions relating to their own development are, among others, basic objectives of integral development. To achieve them, they likewise agree to devote their utmost efforts to accomplishing the following basic goals: To achieve them, they likewise agree to devote their utmost efforts to accomplishing the following basic goals: [...] g) Fair wages, employment opportunities, and acceptable working conditions for all [...] 56. 14. Article 45 states that: Article 45 "The Member States, convinced that man can only achieve the full realization of his aspirations within a just social order, along with economic development and true peace, agree to dedicate every effort to the application of the following principles and mechanisms: [...] b) Work is a right and a social duty, it gives dignity to the one who performs it, and it should be performed under conditions that, including a fair wage system, ensure life, health, and a decent standard of living for the worker and his family, both during his working years and in his old age, or when any circumstance deprives him of the possibility of working; c) Employers and workers, both rural and urban, have the right to associate themselves freely for the defense and promotion of their interests, including the right of collective bargaining and the workers' right to strike, and recognition of the juridical personality of associations and the protection of their freedom and independence, all in accordance with applicable laws [...]. 57 15. 54 55 56 57 In short, Article 26 of the Convention does not contain subjective rights that are justiciable before this Court. What it enshrines is the commitment of the States to adopt measures to progressively achieve the realization of the rights derived from the relevant rules of the Charter of the OAS, to the "extent of available resources" (which is congruent with the progressive nature of the obligation) and by "legislative or other appropriate means." In other words, each State Party has an obligation to formulate definitions and move decisively forward on these issues, in accordance with their domestic deliberative procedures. Cf. Paragraph 101.
