In this regard, Article XIV of the American Declaration stipulates that: “[e]very person has the right to work, under proper conditions, and to follow his vocation freely.” This provision is relevant to define the scope of Article 26, because “the American Declaration constitutes, as applicable and in relation to the OAS Charter, a source of international obligations.”198 Furthermore, Article 29(d) of the American Convention expressly establishes that “no provision of this Convention shall be interpreted as: […] (d) excluding or limiting the effect that the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and other international acts of the same nature have.” 145. In addition to derivation of the right to work based on an interpretation of Article 26 in relation to the OAS Charter, together with the American Declaration, the right to work is explicitly recognized in different domestic laws of the States in the region, 199 as well as in a vast international corpus iuris; inter alia: Article 6 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights;200 Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; 201 Articles 7 and 8 of the Social Charter of the Americas, 202 Articles 6 and 7 of the Additional Protocol to the American Convention in the Area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, 203 Article 11 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, 204 Article 32(1) of Interpretation of the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man within the framework of Article 64 of the American Convention on Human Rights.
