The Industrial Relations Court (IRC) publications have been drawn within the  IRC Series which brings together collected materials on labour law. Labour Law has changed form in Malawi since the introduction of right to fair labour practice in the Malawi Constitution. While previously labour law was predominantly governed by principles of common law, the advent of the Constitution introduced a new concept that recognizes an individuals right to fair labour practice. In fulfillment of this right, the Constitution created the Industrial Relations Court to hear and determine labour disputes. In its operations the IRC observed that many stakeholders are yet to grasp the concept of this right and the requirements for its enforcement, promotion and protection. The IRC Series therefore was initiated by the IRC with financial support from the Danish Institute for Human Rights to promote awareness in this field through among others, outreach programmes and publications.

Publications in the series include:
