The 106th International Labour Conference (ILC), which met on 5 June 2017, adopted a new international labour standard, the Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience Recommendation, 2017 (No. 205).

The new standard updates an earlier ILO Recommendation from 1944 to provide responses to contemporary crisis situations arising from conflicts and disasters. It also widens the focus of the guidance on reconstruction and recovery to include prevention and preparedness.

The new Recommendation on Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience provides a unique normative framework focusing on world of work related measures to prevent and respond to the devastating effects of conflicts and disasters on economies and societies, paying special attention to vulnerable population groups, such as children, young people, women and displaced people.
