The EU is offering hundreds of millions of euros to help Tunisia’s crumbling economy and keep migrants away even as #Tunisia is dumping them in the scorching desert.

For a better future for people and planet we have to address social, economic and environmental issues together.

Sustainable Development Goal 8 on economic growth and decent work for all does just that.

Let's make sure September's #SDGSummit gives all #SDGs the boost they need.

At a Special Meeting on July 20, 2023, the Council of @maut_apbm passed two motions addressing @mcgillu's cancellation of the election of faculty representatives to the Advisory Committee for the Selection of the Dean of @Edumcgill.

A 🧵 with some context (motions at end). 1/14

Child labor violations are up almost 100 percent compared to last year.

Congress spent three hours yesterday grilling HHS Secretary Becerra on why so many migrant kids are ending up in dangerous, illegal jobs after being released to adults by his agency. https://t.co/PQCw6k5PCV

A woman who came on a care work visa states when she complained about working for up to 20 hours per day for as little as £2 per hour, the company threatened to stop her work and cancel her visa - classic example of employer-led visa fuelling exploitation https://t.co/eaiAk4r63t

Seems that #Caricom states are seriously considering spearheading a request for an advisory opinion from the #ICJ on #reparations for slavery. https://t.co/bngnOI6DUT

Congratulations to Professor Tony Anghie, whose recent article "Rethinking International Law: A TWAIL Retrospective" was published in the European Journal of International Law (@ejiltalk): https://t.co/3kiVquBexF.

@OriPomson Interesting points, but there is an additional one that should not be overlooked: even with the best result, the Court will not make improvements on gender representation in the bech. Just 4 women, out of 15 (and only 5 women in the history of the Court). Terrible numbers.

[Ori Pomson @OriPomson]

J Robinson is also bucking the trend of judges seeking re-election. In the previous two triennial elections only one incumbent (J Gaja) did not seek re-election.
J Robinson had in 2011 spoken out against “toxic” trends in the ICJ election process. https://t.co/rudfHw19ls 4/

What if temp employment agencies were banned altogether?

Would the economy suddenly crumble?

Would companies hire more regular employees?

Would we see an explosion of one-day employment contracts?

Decent Work is more than just a job; it's about dignity, fair treatment, and opportunities for all.

💪 Let's strive for workplaces that prioritize safety, respect workers' rights, and provide fair wages.
