7. rich &corporate define "enforceable" in Peru just as they do here - even more so - so if we have
no triggers in the treaties, we are depending on the Peru judges

and that has proven a disaster in the past for labor.

The ILO comment I read to mean that court decisions under their labor laws - despite the laws sounding fine - make the actual labor law in Peru much less than ILO standards - indeed they make the idea a joke.

I am hoping there have been changes in the court attitude - since that attitude, while always favoring rich and corporate just as in the US, seems based in part on what the Peru government de jure has as policy - making that seem possible. And I hope there is some wording that acts as an enforcement of the treaty provisions re labor - but I have not yet seen that wording.
