The 113th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC), convened by the International Labour Organization (ILO), will take place from 2 to 13 June 2025 at the Palais des Nations and ILO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. This annual gathering brings together government, employer, and worker delegates from the ILO’s 187 member states to deliberate on pressing global labour issues.

This year’s agenda includes pivotal discussions on:

  • Protection against biological hazards at work: A second discussion aiming to establish a new Convention and Recommendation.
  • Decent work in the platform economy: A first standard-setting discussion addressing labour conditions in digital platforms.
  • Innovative approaches to tackling informality: General discussions on transitioning from informal to formal employment sectors.
  • Tripartite input to the Second World Summit for Social Development: Deliberations on the ILO’s contribution to the upcoming summit.
  • Amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention: Approval of changes adopted at the Special Tripartite Committee’s fifth meeting in April 2025.

Additionally, the conference will review reports from the Chairperson of the Governing Body and the Director-General, including discussions on the situation of workers in the occupied Arab territories, and consider the Draft Programme and Budget proposals for 2026–27.

A notable event within the conference is the second edition of the Global Coalition for Social Justice Annual Forum, scheduled for 12 June 2025. This forum will convene Coalition partners and ILO tripartite delegations accredited to the Conference.
