Question juridique clé
Whether ILO Conventions Nos. 98 and 154 are directly applicable and can be invoked by the defendants
Solution extraite
The conventions were validly incorporated into Swiss law, but their relevant provisions are not directly applicable and cannot be invoked in court by private parties.
Motifs extraits
The treaties bind Switzerland, yet only self-executing provisions are judicially enforceable by individuals; the cited provisions are programmatic and require legislative or institutional implementation.
