Pöördumine

TO ILO MEMBER STATES 13 July 2022 Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to bring to your attention the launch of the ILO’s Global Campaign to promote the Ratification of the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102), as decided by the 109th Session (2021) of the International Labour Conference 1. Support for such an initiative was reinforced in the discussion of the follow up to the Conference decision by the 343rd Session of the ILO’s Governing Body (November 2021). In the context of the Campaign, the Office is inviting interested countries to work with the ILO to conduct a rapid comparative assessment between their national social protection framework and the minimum requirements of Convention No. 102. The findings will allow stakeholders to engage in national tripartite discussions on their social protection systems, and to consider the prospects for ratification of that Convention and ultimately for its implementation. The Conference discussion took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which social protection measures had been at the centre of the response in virtually all Member States. The pandemic struck in a context where, despite more than 70 years of recognition of the human right to social security, more than half of the world’s population continued to lack any access to social protection. As the main United Nations agency with a mandate to develop international standards on social protection and to support Member States in the development of rights-based social protection systems, the ILO has a long history and recognized expertise in this area. Convention No. 102 stands at the heart of the ILO’s social security normative architecture and is globally recognized as the sole international Convention addressing social security in a systemic manner, establishing the core administrative and financing principles and the minimum benchmarks for social security benefits. The success of the Global Campaign can only be as strong as the reach and determination of all partners involved, and the ILO is therefore seeking to implement the Campaign in close collaboration with its tripartite constituents. To this end, I would encourage you to involve your national employers’ and workers’ organizations and to share this letter with them. 1 ILO: Conclusions concerning the second recurrent discussions on social protection (social security), International Labour Conference, 109th Session, Geneva, 2021  2.
