ILO – UN agency for the world of work 23/11/2018 ILO – UN agency for the world of work "Experience shows that economic growth is not sufficient. We must do more to empower individuals through decent work, support people through social protection, and ensure the voices of the poor and marginalized are heard. 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."

Recap DAY 1: Role and Content of ILS 23/11/2018 ILS help to establish a supervised framework of rules for a fair globalization. ILS lay down a web of standards agreed upon by all major players in the global economy (governments, employer representatives, and worker representatives). International labour standards are legal instruments drawn up by the ILO's constituents (governments, employers and workers) with a view to setting out basic principles and rights at work and to regulate other areas of the world of work. These standards primarily take the form of Conventions and Recommendations and sometimes of Protocols. Protocols are partial and optional revisions or amendments of earlier Conventions. The ILO also adopts other instruments, such as Declarations and Resolutions containing formal and authoritative statements reaffirming the importance which the tripartite constituents attach to certain principles and values. Since 1919, the ILO has adopted 189 Conventions. With change, about half of those have become out-of-date. Today, 82 Conventions set forth up to date standards and principles. They address a wide array of topics, ranging from « core » principles, to wages and hours, and from social protection and the need for adequate enforcement (labour inspection), to the special needs of distinct occupational groups.

Follow up of the Declaration 23/11/2018 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 organizations 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.
