Fellow Reader,

We are pleased to present the latest edition of our newsletter. In this issue, we focus on the prohibition of employment discrimination across the ILLN member states, including some European Union countries, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Ensuring equal treatment in the workplace is a core principle of modern labour law and an essential element of fair and inclusive employment relations.

Although legal frameworks, protected characteristics, and enforcement mechanisms vary across jurisdictions, they share a common objective: protecting employees and job applicants from unequal treatment and promoting equal opportunities throughout the employment relationship.

We hope you enjoy reading the January 2026 issue of the ILLN Newsletter!
