The World Social Justice Day is celebrated annually on February 20. This date was established by the UN General Assembly to promote the eradication of poverty, the provision of men and women with full and productive employment and decent work, the achievement of equality, the establishment of social justice for all.

At the tripartite conference, the ILO representatives presented report of the Global Commission on the Future of Work. The main areas of cooperation of the ILO and Kyrgyzstan were considered.

Throughout the Centenary year, multiple commemorative events will take place around the globe to highlight the achievements of the organization and the role it plays in everyone’s lives. It will also be an opportunity to reaffirm the ILO’s core values and vision as it prepares for its second century of work.

The first major highlight of 2019 was the launch of the report of the Global Commission on the Future of Work on 22 January. The report is the culmination of a process that began in 2016 with a series of national dialogues in ILO member States on the Future of Work. The Global Commission was set up with the aim of examining the output from the dialogues as part of an in-depth examination of how to achieve a future of work that provides decent and sustainable work opportunities for all.

The Centenary International Labor Conference which runs from 10 to 21 June in Geneva will discuss the report, and is also expected to adopt new landmark standards to fight violence and harassment in the world of work.
