Rebuilding Trust, Renewing Solidarity: State of Social Justice in the World.



The event provides a pivotal opportunity to elevate the findings of the State of Social Justice in the World Report and translate its insights into forward-looking dialogue and action.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) in collaboration with the State of Qatar, the Delegation of the European Union to the UN and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) are pleased to convene this high-level special event on the margins of the Eightieth Session of the UN General Assembly to launch the inaugural seminal report of the ILO on the State of Social Justice in the World.

This global report provides a timely and evidence-based assessment of progress, gaps, and structural barriers in realizing social justice, drawing on decades of ILO experience, international labour standards, and multilateral cooperation. It highlights the paradox of a world that has seen measurable gains such as increased social protection coverage and reduced working poverty while still grappling with entrenched inequalities in income, opportunity, and recognition. It warns that without strong institutions and deliberate policy action, today's major transitions whether in climate, the digital space or demographics risk compounding exclusion rather than advancing equity.

Coming ahead of the World Social Summit titled as the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSS-WSSD2) in Doha from 4 - 6 November, this launch offers a critical opportunity to centre the conversation on decent work, fair distribution, and inclusive governance. The report reinforces the case for rebuilding trust in institutions and revitalizing the global social contract as central to achieving peaceful, sustainable and just societies. By convening Member States, UN partners, social partners and civil society, this jointly organized event will generate momentum for placing social justice at the heart of the multilateral agenda in 2026 and beyond.
