  • Director's Note
    ILO Office for Turkey E-Newsletter International Labour Organization SPECIAL ISSUE 2019 Dear colleagues and friends, We are glad to share with you #ILO100 Special Issue to mark the Centenary of ILO. DIRECTOR’S Since the beginning of 2019, there have been several activities and events by our office and the social partners to NOTE mark the Centenary and to discuss the ILO initiative “Future of Work.” The Centenary celebrations peaked in May- June 2019 in Turkey, in Geneva and throughout the world with a series of significant events. Turkey hosted the 12th Labour Assembly on 23 May in Ankara with the future of work theme “Work for a Brighter Future”, with the participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and ILO Director-General Guy Ryder. The International Labour Conference held on 10-21 June in Geneva was an historic event with more than 6,000 delegates from 187 countries at the ILO’s Centenary Session marking the Centenary of ILO’s birth. The Convention concerning the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work adopted in this historic session was certainly a significant development both in the International Labour Conference and in the world of work. Turkey participated in the International Labour Conference with a large delegation led by the Vice President. On the occasion of his visit to Turkey, the ILO Director-General also met with the President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and visited the ILO Office for Turkey. We were honoured and glad to have the DG in our office. It was also nice and meaningful to organise #ILO100 events in Atakule, the symbol of Ankara, to mark the Centenary and the World Day Against Child Labour.

Our affiliates consist of workers’ organisations in 153 countries and territories. Trade unions belonging to the ITUC collectively have168 million members. Our principal mission is to be the global voice for workers including at international organisations such as the United Nations and especially at the International Labour Organisation (ILO) which was created to establish international labour standards. We are especially concerned with defending the right of workers to form and join their own organisations and monitor respect for this basic human right throughout the world. Each year we issue an Annual Survey of Violations of Trade Union Rights which is considered the authoritative publication on this subject. Our view is that both labour legislation and its application in the United States fall far short of internationally recognised labour standards enshrined in ILO Conventions 87 and 98 on freedom of association as well as on the right to organise and the right to collective bargaining. The procedures established by the National Labour Relations Act to protect workers who seek to exercise what is recognised throughout the world as a basic human right are utterly inadequate.

  • 2018 Annual Report
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 2 Getting things done From its very beginning in 2018, the core purpose of the Paris Peace Forum has been to get things done, to make progress in addressing global challenges in new, innovative ways. Not that international institutions, declarations and conferences shouldn’t be considered useful. They are. But they are clearly insufficient and, rightly or wrongly, increasingly questioned by some. Hence our specific endeavor: inventing new avenues to global governance based on solutions and on the huge potential of both state and non-state actors to propose and engage. Each edition of the Forum puts a platform at their service with all they need to move forward – feedback on their initiative, partners and allies, visibility, political connections. In global affairs, getting things done is a risky business: we have to accept that reality is the sole measure of our success. Not only do we accept this situation, but this is something that drives the whole philosophy of the Forum. It is particularly true with the ‘SCUP’, our Scale-up Committee, which we established during the first edition of the Forum. It aims to provide support and assess progress for the ten most promising initiatives among those selected for our annual event. We picked key performance indicators and measured what is both their and our success, and where there are still efforts to be made (a detailed report is available online). Getting things done in a measurable way is also the objective of the Forum’s future evolution: its ambition to become an incubator of multi-stakeholder initiatives.

  • Curriculum Vitae Guy Ryder
    Curriculum vitae Guy Ryder Guy Ryder has some thirty years of experience in the world of work, most of it at the international level. During that time he has occupied positions of leadership at the global level and been called upon to manage complex processes of change and situations of considerable political sensitivity in all regions of the world. He has served the ILO in senior positions and occupied posts of key political responsibility in its constituent structures. In these different capacities he has demonstrated real and consistent commitment to the Organization’s values and objectives and been active as a practitioner of tripartism. He has shown readiness and ability to reach out across individual constituent groups in the interests of consensus in a diverse range of circumstances and debates. With a career spent largely in an international environment, he has developed capacity and enthusiasm for working in a multi-cultural and multi-lingual setting. He has been called upon to lead international organizations where effective use of limited resources was a high priority, and to take them successfully through complex processes of structural change. Professional Career September 2010 to Present: Executive Director, International Labour Office, Geneva With responsibility for International Labour Standards and Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, Guy Ryder oversees the ILO’s key work in the supervision of the application of ILO Conventions and Recommendations and its activities to promote the 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the International Programme for the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC).

The ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work has confirmed the essential role that ILO, one hundred years since its creation, must play for the achievement of ‘social justice, democracy and the promotion of universal and lasting peace.’i We welcome the ILO’s recent statement calling on governments around the world to take action to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. As stressed by the ILO, ‘It is only by implementing occupational safety and health measures that we can protect the lives of workers, their families and the larger communities, ensure work continuity and economic survival.’ii We also welcome the ILO’s Palestinian Decent Work Programme, as a serious effort to enhance employment and livelihood opportunities and realise fundamental principles and rights at work for Palestinian women and men.iii Around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated vulnerabilities linked to poverty, discrimination, conflict and occupation.
