2. SOUNDBITE (French) Gilbert F. Houngbo, ILO Director-General:
“Since our last meeting in June 2023, I've been wondering about the path of our world: on the one hand, positive and encouraging advances, and on the other, non-stop challenges and crises.”
« Depuis notre dernière rencontre en juin 2023, je m’interroge sur la trajectoire de notre monde : d’un côté, des avancées positives et encourageantes, et de l’autre des défis et crises qui se succèdent sans cesse. »

4. SOUNDBITE (French) Gilbert F. Houngbo, ILO Director-General:
“Geopolitical tensions have not let up. Sources of tension have intensified. The appalling situation in the Middle East has added to the existing crises. The shocking conflicts in Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, Haiti, Ukraine and the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, to name but a few, remain major issues for humanity and, more particularly, for multilateralism.”
« Les tensions géopolitiques n’ont connu aucun répit. Les foyers de tension se sont intensifiés. La situation effroyable au Moyen-Orient s’est ajoutée aux crises déjà existantes. Les conflits, absolument révoltants, à Gaza, au Yémen, au Soudan, en Haïti, en Ukraine, à l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo, pour n’en citer que quelques-uns, demeurent des problématiques majeures de l’humanité et plus singulièrement du multilatéralisme. »

6. SOUNDBITE (French) Gilbert F. Houngbo, ILO Director-General:
“My report pursues the theme of social justice by examining the fundamentals of a just society, on which we must build the opportunities and institutions of decent work. It focuses on the social contract.”
« Mon rapport poursuit le thème de la justice sociale en examinant les fondamentaux d’une société qui se veut juste et sur lesquels l’on doit construire les opportunités et les institutions du travail décent. Il porte sur le contrat social. »

The Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO), Gilbert F. Houngbo, warned that “crises that keep coming one after the other” could jeopardize “positive and encouraging advances” in the global labour landscape, highlighting the organization's commitment to navigating these complexities as he addressed the opening of the 112th session of the International Labour Conference.
