Summary (English)
This article examines whether the right to social security as laid down in international human rights instruments can be satisfactorily implemented through the application of existing ILO social security standards. It proposes means for improvement through the adoption of a new instrument complementing Convention No. 102, aiming at the extension of social security coverage to those countries and populations in need of protection.
