Follow-up to the Declaration: three Elements Technical cooperation Technical cooperation

Follow-up of the Declaration The Declaration and its Follow-up provide three ways to help countries, employers and workers achieve the full realization of the Declaration’s objective: Annual Review Reports - composed of reports from countries that have not yet ratified one or more of the ILO Conventions that directly relate to the specific principles and rights stated in the Declaration. This reporting process provides Governments with an opportunity to state what measures they have taken towards achieving respect for the Declaration. It also gives organisations of employers and workers a chance to voice their views on progress made and actions taken. Global Reports - provide a dynamic global picture of the current situation of the principles and rights expressed in the Declaration. The Global Report is an objective view of the global and regional trends on the issues relevant to the Declaration and serves to highlight those areas that require greater attention. It serves as a basis for determining priorities for technical cooperation. Technical Cooperation Projects – the third way to give effect to the Declaration, are designed to address identifiable needs in relation to the Declaration and to strengthen local capacities thereby translating principles into practice.

As we continue our efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, let us make social justice central to achieving equitable and sustainable growth for all."
