A/HRC/24/38 Principle 22 Indigenous people and their communities and other local communities have a vital role in environmental management and development because of their knowledge and traditional practices.

ILO Declaration on Social Justice, 10 June 2008 (excerpts)4 IV. Scope and principles The Conference recognizes and declares that: A. In the context of accelerating change, the commitments and efforts of Members and the Organization to implement the ILO’s constitutional mandate, including through international labour standards, and to place full and productive employment and decent work at the centre of economic and social policies, should be based on the four equally important strategic objectives of the ILO, through which the Decent Work Agenda is expressed and which can be summarized as follows: (i) promoting employment by creating a sustainable institutional and economic environment in which: • individuals can develop and update the necessary capacities and skills they need to enable them to be productively occupied for their personal fulfilment and the common well-being; • all enterprises, public or private, are sustainable to enable growth and the generation of greater employment and income opportunities and prospects for all; and societies can achieve their goals of economic development, good living standards and social progress; (ii) developing and enhancing measures of social protection – social security and labour protection – which are sustainable and adapted to national circumstances, including: • the extension of social security to all, including measures to provide basic income to all in need of such protection, and adapting its scope and coverage to meet the new needs and uncertainties generated by the rapidity of technological, societal, demographic and economic changes; • healthy and safe working conditions; and • policies in regard to wages and earnings, hours and other conditions of work, designed to ensure a just share of the fruits of progress to all and a minimum living wage to all employed and in need of such protection; (iii) promoting social dialogue and tripartism as the most appropriate methods for: • adapting the implementation of the strategic objectives to the needs and circumstances of each country; • translating economic development into social progress, and social progress into economic development; 4 26 http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/@ed_norm/@relconf/documents/meetingdocument/wcms_ 094042.pdf
