On 10 May 1944, as WWII raged around the world, a group of workers, employers and governments joined together in proclaiming that lasting peace can only be established if it is based on #SocialJustice.

Today, we mark the 80th anniversary of the @ilo Philadelphia Declaration.

75 years ago the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted after World War 2.

Human and labour rights are vital for peace, freedom, equality and #SocialJustice.

We all have a duty to uphold and protect them, especially in times of conflict and insecurity. #HumanRights75

The Governing Body of the @ILO is to refer a dispute over the right to strike to the International Court of Justice.

I warmly welcome the @ILO Governing Body's decision to establish the Global Coalition for #SocialJustice.

There is a clear and urgent need for greater social justice that requires commitment from across the intl. community.

Social dialogue will be at the heart of these efforts.

[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

We open the ILO Governing Body at a time of alarming geopolitical tension and heart-breaking human suffering.

@ILO has a mandate to promote #SocialJustice, which is the foundation of lasting peace.

As the home of tripartite dialogue, we can & must contribute to universal peace.

[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

The unprecedented situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory has had a devasting human impact.

3 reasons why we need to achieve equal pay for work of equal value:

1️⃣ It's a matter of justice ⚖️
2️⃣ Better educated and healthier children 🧒👶
3️⃣ Reduce labour shortage in sectors where women prevail 👩‍⚕️👩‍🏫
