ILO to hold high-level World of Work Summit on promoting social justice
GENEVA (ILO News) - The International Labour Organization's World of Work Summit will take place on the 14 and 15 June, under the theme of "Social Justice for All".
The Summit will bring together 17 Heads of State and Government, the ILO's Director-General, and high-level representatives from the United Nations, other international organizations, and employers' and workers' organizations. There will also be an address from the UN's Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres.
Participants will discuss policies and actions that can advance social justice and highlight the key role of social justice in creating a more sustainable and equitable world.
In addition to the individual leaders' addresses, the agenda includes four high-level panels focusing on different issues relevant to expanding social justice. Panellists will explain their visions of, and priorities for, social justice, and share the actions they are taking.
The two-day World of Work Summit 2023: Social Justice for All will also discuss and inform the proposal to forge a Global Coalition for Social Justice - a multi-lateral initiative that was welcomed by the ILO's Governing Body of the International Labour Office at its 347th Session in March 2023.
The World of Work Summit is taking place during the 111th International Labour Conference in Room XX of the Palais des Nations, Geneva. It will be livestreamed on the ILO Live web platform.
Interpretation during the Summit will be provided in English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and international sign language.
