L’église catholique propose au monde entier de célèbrer la Journée Mondiale de la Paix le 1er janvier depuis 1968, à l’instigation du Pape de l’époque, Paul VI. Ses successeurs ont poursuivi cette célébration et, aussi bien Jean-Paul II que Benoît XVI, ont tenu à marquer d’une manière solenelle l’entrée dans la nouvelle année. Le Pape François a, avec son style propre, repris le flambeau.

Chaque année un thème différent est proposé et, pour 2022, le Pape a choisi pour thème : « Dialogue entre générations, éducation et travail : des outils pour construire une paix durable ».  

Le Pape affirme: « À chaque époque, la paix est à la fois un don du ciel et le fruit d’un engagement commun. Il y a, en effet, une “architecture” de la paix, dans laquelle interviennent les différentes institutions de la société, et il y a un “artisanat” de la paix qui implique chacun de nous personnellement. Chacun peut collaborer à la construction d’un monde plus pacifique : à partir de son propre cœur et des relations au sein de la famille, dans la société et avec l’environnement, jusqu’aux relations entre les peuples et entre les États. »

Le Pape suggère « trois voies pour construire une paix durable. Tout d’abord, le dialogue entre les générations comme base pour la réalisation de projets communs. Deuxièmement, l’éducation en tant que facteur de liberté, de responsabilité et de développement. Enfin, le travail pour une pleine réalisation de la dignité humaine. Ces trois éléments sont essentiels pour “l’élaboration d’un pacte social”, sans lequel tout projet de paix est inconsistant ».

This year, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work (SafeDay) and the World Day Against Child Labour (WDACL) are coming together in a joint campaign to improve the safety and health of young workers and end child labour.

The campaign aims to accelerate action to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 8.8 of safe and secure working environments for all workers by 2030 and SDG target 8.7 of ending all forms of child labour by 2025. Achieving these goals for the benefit of the next generation of the global workforce requires a concerted and integrated approach to eliminating child labour and promoting a culture of prevention on occupational safety health (OSH).

The 541 million young workers (15-24 years old) – which includes 37 million children in hazardous child labour – account for more than 15 per cent of the world’s labour force and suffer up to a 40 per cent higher rate of non-fatal occupational injuries than adult workers older than 25.

Many factors can increase youth vulnerability to OSH risks, such as their physical and psychological stage of development, lack of work experience and lack of training, limited awareness of work-related hazards and a lack of bargaining power that can lead young workers to accept dangerous tasks or jobs with poor working conditions.

The 2018 SafeDay campaign highlights the critical importance of addressing these challenges and improving safety and health for young workers, not only to promote decent youth employment, but also to link these efforts to combat hazardous – and all other forms of – child labour.

 SafeDay History
Since 2003, the ILO observes the World Day on Safety and Health at Work on April 28 capitalizing on its traditional strengths of tripartism and social dialogue.

The United Nations’ (UN) International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict is annually held on November 6. It aims to educate people about the damaging effects of war and armed conflict on the environment.

The International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict helps people understand more about war’s effects on the environment.The International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict helps people understand more about war’s effects on the environment.

Background
War and armed conflict has many damaging effects on the natural environment. For example, crops are destroyed, water supplies are poisoned and forests are burnt. New technology that is used for war means that the destruction and damage of the environment is more serious and the long-term consequences can be worse.

On November 5, 2001, the UN General Assembly declared November 6 of each year as the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict (resolution 56/4). The assembly considered that that any environmental damage in times of armed conflict impairs ecosystems and natural resources long after the period of conflict. This damage can often extend beyond the limits of national territories and today’s generation. The assembly also recalled the United Nations Millennium Declaration, which emphasized the necessity of working to protect the environment.
