Qatar's reforms aim to developlabour market, says Al Marri
QNA Geneva Minister of Labour HE Dr Ali bin Samikh Al Marri has reaffirmed Qatar's commitment to supporting the International Labour Organisation's(ILO) mission and to cooperating with international partners to promote social justice and build a future based on decent work and respect for human dignity. This came as the State of Qatar participated in the General Session of the 113th International Labour Conference (ILC) held in Geneva on Monday. Dr Al Marri headed the State of Qatar's delegation. The current session of the International Labour Conference brings together nearly 5,000 participants from 187 member states, including governments, employers, and workers. The conference brought together ministers of Labour, heads of delegations, and representatives of workers and employers from the International Labour Organization's (ILO) member states. Qatar's participation, represented by a senior delegation from the Ministry of Labour, highlights the country's ongoing commitment to engage actively with international organizations and maintain dialogue on the evolving global labour landscape. In his speech, Dr Al Marri highlighted Qatar's comprehensive reforms aimed at developing its labour market over recent years. The reforms focus on key areas such as strengthening the legislative and regulatory framework for occupational health and safety, as well as implementing extensive awareness and training programmes for both workers and labour inspectors. Qatar has also built strong partnerships with the ILO to promote decent work practices, especially in critical sectors. He voiced the State of Qatar's appreciation for the ILO's continued efforts to promote social justice and decent work at the regional and global levels. He noted that the Director-General's report offers an honest and thorough analysis of the structural challenges facing labour markets amid global crises. He stressed that social justice is no longer just an ideal, but a necessary foundation for social stability and peace. Dr Al Marri emphasized that the report highlights the importance of embedding democratic values, participation, and fairness in building resilient and fair labour systems. He underlined the urgent need to enhance social dialogue as a key mechanism for developing inclusive solutions. He also pointed out that key conference topics, especially the draft programme and budget for 2026-2027, represent important steps towards strengthening the ILO's capacity to carry out its strategic goals. These include supporting social dialogue, advancing decent work, and addressing labour market challenges in developing countries. Reaffirming Qatar's strong support, the Minister of Labour also spoke in favour of elevating the status of the State of Palestine in international organisations. He emphasized the importance of empowering Palestinian institutions to protect the rights of Palestinian workers amid ongoing challenges caused by the occupation. He warmly welcomed the decision to grant Palestine 'Non-Member Observer State' status at the ILO. He described this as a clear endorsement of the organisation's commitment to justice and legitimacy, as well as recognition of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and dignified existence. Among the key issues under discussion are the Director-General's report, titled 'Jobs, Rights and Growth,' and a report on the situation of workers in the occupied Arab territories. The conference agenda also covers topics such as protection against biological hazards in the workplace and decent work in the platform economy, with the first-ever discussion on setting standards. Additionally, the conference explores innovative approaches to addressing the informal economy and encouraging formal employment. Held annually in Geneva, the International Labour Conference, often called the global parliament of labour, sets the ILO's public policies, including conventions and recommendations. It also makes key decisions on the organisation's policies, work programme, budget, and elects members to its governing body.
