Abstract
Law in general consists of rules of conduct imposed on individuals to govern human relations; it does not arise from nothing but emanates directly from fundamental choices, varying from one country to another and across a country's own evolutions and regimes. Labor law in particular is the product of a "social context" and a "human reality" of a given period, as much as of economic data and technological development—labor law in a rural society differs from that of an industrial or post-industrial information society. The author questions what can be said of the labor law of an underdeveloped country like Morocco, which has so far known only legal norms imposed by the former colonial power. He asks whether retaining these inherited rules, with only minor post-independence amendments and a draft labor code that merely rearranges existing texts, is consistent with the country's realities, and calls for a labor law imbued with human rights as proclaimed by international instruments.
