Rights, Peace and Democracy

The ITUC-Asia Pacific promotes the interdependent issues of rights, peace and democracy to create an environment where workers’ fundamental rights and freedoms are guaranteed and can be fully exercised without fear of reprisal.

To pursue the broader goal of social justice, the ITUC-Asia Pacific strives to build a strong and united trade union movement with the power to promote and defend workers’ rights everywhere, especially in Asia and the Pacific region. To reinforce our work in this regard, we initiate and organise solidarity campaigns along with our affiliates, the Global Union Federations (GUFs), and the relevant civil society organisations.

We work closely with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) to monitor and promote the proper implementation of ratified International Labour Conventions by the member-states of the International Labour Organization (ILO) through ILO’s  supervisory mechanism. We also assist our affiliates in capacity building to address the deficiencies in the labour legislations in their countries.

Impeaching Yoon Suk Yeol: A victory of people’s Power in Korea to protect democracy
On 14 December, South Korea’s National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol with more than a two-thirds majority. Consequently, Yoon’s duties have been suspended, and the Constitutional Court now has up to 180 days to decide whether to remove him from office. Considering the gravity of his act of rebellion to subvert constitutional orders—by criticizing opposition parties for not aligning with his views and using the military and police to storm the legislature, as well as to suppress the rights and freedoms of the people—the National Assembly’s decision should be seen as entirely justified.

Millions join protest across India on Constitution Day, demand action on farmers’ and workers’ rights
On 26 November 2024, millions of farmers and workers held coordinated protests in over 500 districts across India, marking the fourth anniversary of the farmers’ historic struggle that began alongside a nationwide workers’ strike. The protests were jointly organised by the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions (CTUs) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) to demand urgent action on a wide-ranging charter of demands (see photos below), focusing on addressing the deepening agrarian crisis, economic inequalities, loss of social security, and government policies that favour corporations at the expense of ordinary citizens.
