C.2.1. The content of the right to equitable and satisfactory conditions of work that ensure the health of the worker 68. This Court has indicated that Articles 45(b) and (c), 73 46 74 and 34(g) 75 of the OAS Charter establish a series of norms that recognize the right to work. In particular, the Court has noted that Article 45(b) of the OAS Charter establishes that “b) [w]ork is a right and a social duty, it gives dignity to the one who performs it, and it should be performed under conditions, including a system of fair wages, that 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.” Thus, the Court has considered that there is a reference with a sufficient degree of specificity to the right to just and favorable conditions of work to infer its existence and implicit recognition in the OAS Charter. Consequently, the Court considers that the right to just and favorable conditions that ensure safety, health and hygiene of the worker is a right protected by Article 26 of the Convention. 76 69. With regard to the content and scope of this right, the Court recalls that the American Declaration recognizes that everyone has the right “to work in decent conditions.” 77 Similarly, Article 7 of the Protocol of San Salvador establishes that “[t]he States Parties to this Protocol recognize that the right to work to which the foregoing article presupposes that everyone shall enjoy that right under just, equitable and satisfactory conditions, which the States Parties undertake to guarantee in their internal legislation, particularly with respect to: […] safety and hygiene in the workplace.” In the universal sphere, the Universal Declaration on Human Rights establishes that “[e]veryone has the right to […] equitable and satisfactory conditions of work.” Meanwhile, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights provides that “[t]he States Parties to the present Covenant recognize the right of everyone to the enjoyment of equitable and satisfactory conditions of work which ensure, in particular: […] b) safe and healthy working conditions.” 78 70. In the context of the International Labor Organization, the Court notes that the Labour 73 Cf. Article 45 of the OAS Charter: “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, including a system of fair wages, that ensures 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 to 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 […].” 74 Cf. Article 46 of the OAS Charter: “The Member States recognize that, in order to facilitate the process of Latin American regional integration, it is necessary to harmonize the social legislation of the developing countries, especially in the labor and social security fields, so that the rights of the workers shall be equally protected, and they agree to make the greatest efforts possible to achieve this goal.” Cf. Article 34(g) of the OAS Charter: “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: […] g) Fair wages, employment opportunities, and acceptable working conditions for all.” 75 Cf.
