Investing in Peace Means Investing in People and Our Future
We mark this year’s International Day of Peace at a time when our world is facing the devastating consequences of wars and conflicts, deepening inequalities, forced displacement and a growing sense of insecurity.

The International Labour Confederation (ILC) expresses its deep sorrow over the devastating floods in Nepal, caused by a glacial collapse, which have resulted in immense humanitarian and economic destruction.

International Youth Day is an opportunity to recognise the contribution young people already make to our workplaces, communities and societies. It is also a moment to listen more carefully to the challenges they face and to ask whether today’s economic and social systems are offering them a fair start in life.

On the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, the International Labour Confederation (ILC) once again draws attention to one of the most serious violations of human dignity and fundamental rights. Human trafficking, forced labour and modern slavery continue to affect millions of people across the world, despite the commitments made by governments and international institutions.

The International Labour Confederation (ILC) organised an “EU Project Writing and Capacity Building Training Programme” to enhance the project development capacity of trade union staff, strengthen institutional competencies, and contribute to projects capable of creating new value at the international level.

ILC President Ali Yalçın and ILC Secretary General Hamza Öksüz attended the 43rd Türkiye-EU Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) Meeting.
