Summary/Abstract: Violence and harassment are present in the world of work in the most diverse forms. The ILO Violence and Harassment Convention 2019 should therefore be of great importance for labour law practice. It was adopted on 21 June 2019, together with the non-binding Recommendation for Implementation (No. 206), on the occasion of the centenary of the ILO. As the Convention falls partly within the competence of the European Union, with the EU not being able to ratify the Convention itself, the European Commission has invited the member states to ratify the Convention by the end of 2022. The German Federal Government is currently planning ratification. In the following, I give an overview of the Convention and, using German law as an example, discuss how it could be implemented in a legal system shaped by EU law.
