Guy Ryder re-elected as ILO Director-General for a second term

Geneva, Nov 7 (IBNS): The Governing Body of the International Labour Organization (ILO) has re-elected Guy Ryder as Director-General for a second five year-term to start in October 2017.

Guy Ryder received 54 of the 56 votes cast by the titular members of the ILO’s Governing Body.

The vote was conducted at the ILO’s headquarters in Geneva. He was the only candidate.

“I thank the Governing Body members for their renewed confidence. My second term will start as the world of work is undergoing unprecedented and transformative change. One asset that we have to master this change is our unique tripartite structure: government, employer and worker representatives will play a key role in shaping the future of work and reasserting social justice as the pole star of international policy making,” Ryder told ILO News after his re-election.

Warning that “the denial of social justice on a deeply disturbing scale constituted a real threat to stability and eventually peace in our societies,” the head of the ILO called on its members to make the Organization a leader in delivering the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development  through decent work.
