A/HRC/24/38
• support and assist efforts by individual Members to make progress on a
tripartite basis towards all the strategic objectives, through country
programmes for decent work, where appropriate, and within the framework
of the United Nations system; and
• help, wherever necessary, the institutional capacity of member States, as well
as representative organizations of employers and workers, to facilitate
meaningful and coherent social policy and sustainable development;
(iii) promoting shared knowledge and understanding of the synergies between the
strategic objectives through empirical analysis and tripartite discussion of concrete
experiences, with the voluntary cooperation of countries concerned, and with a view
to informing Members’ decision-making in relation to the opportunities and
challenges of globalization;
(iv) upon request, providing assistance to Members who wish to promote
strategic objectives jointly within the framework of bilateral or multilateral
agreements, subject to their compatibility with ILO obligations; and
(v)
developing new partnerships with non-state entities and economic actors,
such as multinational enterprises and trade unions operating at the global sectoral
level in order to enhance the effectiveness of ILO operational programmes and
activities, enlist their support in any appropriate way, and otherwise promote the
ILO strategic objectives. This will be done in consultation with representative
national and international organizations of workers and employers.
B.
At the same time, Members have a key responsibility to contribute, through their
social and economic policy, to the realization of a global and integrated strategy for the
implementation of the strategic objectives, which encompass the Decent Work Agenda
outlined in Part I of this Declaration. Implementation of the Decent Work Agenda at
national level will depend on national needs and priorities and it will be for member States,
in consultation with the representative organizations of workers and employers, to
determine how to discharge that responsibility. To that end, they may consider, among
other steps:
(i)
the adoption of a national or regional strategy for decent work, or both,
targeting a set of priorities for the integrated pursuit of the strategic objectives;
(ii)
the establishment of appropriate indicators or statistics, if necessary with the
assistance of the ILO, to monitor and evaluate the progress made;
(iii) the review of their situation as regards the ratification or implementation of
ILO instruments with a view to achieving a progressively increasing coverage of
each of the strategic objectives, with special emphasis on the instruments classified
as core labour standards as well as those regarded as most significant from the
viewpoint of governance covering tripartism, employment policy and labour
inspection;
(iv) the taking of appropriate steps for an adequate coordination between
positions taken on behalf of the member State concerned in relevant international
forums and any steps they may take under the present Declaration;
(v)
the promotion of sustainable enterprises;
(vi) where appropriate, sharing national and regional good practice gained from
the successful implementation of national or regional initiatives with a decent work
element; and
