Together For A Just World

It was stressed that digitalization, automation, and the green tran-
sition must be managed in a way that safeguards labour rights and
remains compatible with the principles of decent work, wage justice,
and social security. The ILC and OATUU emphasized that the cost
of environmental and energy crises should not be borne by workers,
and that a just transition can only be achieved through social dia-
logue, participatory planning, and international solidarity.
Participants noted that artificial intelligence and the digital platform
economy are profoundly transforming labour markets, creating not

The persistence of informal employment, compounded by conflicts,
political instability, and weak institutional frameworks, continues to
deprive millions of workers of social protection, fair wages, and repre-

reconstruction, and social dialogue. They call on governments, em-
ployers, and international partners to invest in formalization strate-
gies that create stable employment, strengthen public institutions,
and integrate informal workers into national labour systems.
Participants also reaffirmed that peace should not be built solely
through diplomatic processes but on the foundations of social jus-

conflict and crisis, affirming their commitment to make people’s
diplomacy an integral part of international policies for peace and
solidarity.
The burden of unsustainable debt continues to hinder development,
deepen inequality, and undermine social stability across Africa and
other impoverished regions. Excessive debt servicing diverts vital
