During the Conference, delegates representing workers, employers, and governments from 187 member states would discuss the report by ILO Director-General Gilbert Houngbo, “Towards a Renewed Social Contract.”
In addition, the participants of the 112th ILC session would address a wide range of issues, including the protection of workers from the effects of climate change and biological hazards in the workplace, the care economy, as well as fundamental principles and rights at work.
It is expected that the Conference would elect members of the ILO Governing Body for 2024–2027.
