ILO

353rd Session of the Governing Body 2025

ILO 100, Centenary Conference, Opening 10 June 2019 Statement by Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg

For 100 years, the ILO has been a champion of: - active tripartite cooperation - binding international regulations - workers’ rights, and - equal conditions of competition and social justice. The term ‘decent work for all’ was coined by the ILO. This concept is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals – especially SDG 8. Decent work is a major goal in itself, but it is also crucial for a socially sustainable world economy.
