[Applause]
[Music]
task of the ilo
is to extend the frontiers of social
progress throughout the world
[Music]
so
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
i have a dream
that one day this nation will rise up
live out the true meaning of its dreams
[Music]
now
[Music]
let me assure you
that despite the thickness of the prison
walls
all of us on robben island and other
jails
could hear your voices demanding our
release
very clearly
there is nothing more fundamental than a
good paying job
[Music]
[Applause]
the ilo is a very distinctive
multilateral organization because it
brings together government business and
labor
in that sense it brings together all
aspects of society for us
employment is synonymous
with peace
the ilo is a decent work agenda really
touches
the core of people's lives
and aspirations
it is up to us
to create a global growth economy
one that will give people the jobs they
need
to support their families
and improve their lives
i believe what the ilo is trying to
promote and that is the decent work
agenda is still very much relevant
from a human rights perspective decent
work is an essential component because
it's part of human dignity
today the ilo continues
to promote the values we share
the rights
we all must respect
the 2008 declaration on social justice
for the fair globalization
sets out the ilo's vision of its mandate
in the 21st century
and gives the organization the
contemporary tools
to continue realizing its historical
mission
in dealing with the problems of today
we must not forget that there was a
crisis before the crisis
a global process of deepening inequality
and we cannot go back to business as
usual
the ilo brings together the actors of
the real economy to find real solutions
the organization's decent work agenda is
a sound basis for forging the balanced
policy approaches that are the
foundation of sustainable development
decent work is a key tool in finding the
integrated solutions that respond
to the needs of people of business
of economic growth and the environment
