So much going on at the @wto! Today we celebrated the 100 Year Anniversary of our historic building, the Centre William Rappard on the banks of Lake Geneva, named after the renowned Swiss intellectual William Rappard. This building housed the @ilo until it moved in 1975, handing over occupancy to the GATT which later became the WTO. We were grateful to be joined by the ILO DG, @GilbertFHoungbo, the Mayor of Geneva, Christina Kitsos, and Members of the Rappard Family, our General Council Chair, H.E. Amb Clare Kelly and the Chairperson of the Governing Body of ILO, H.E. Amb Matthew Wilson. Thanks also to other dignitaries, DG of UN Genvea, Tatiana Valovaya @UN_Valovaya, ED of @ITCnews, Pamela @CokeHamilton, among others, as well as Ambassadors and staff members who joined to celebrate. The occasion was also marked by a brilliant WTO-ILO joint Centenary Exhibition and the soft launch of our new WTO marketplace.

More than 1 billion people are cooperative members. 🌍 Across regions and sectors, cooperatives contribute to stronger local economies, decent work and more inclusive development. #CoopsDay

Centenary of CWR which housed @ilo & now @wto “Buildings hold memories & walls contain stories, & within every corner & crevice of Centre William Rappard there are reflections of commitment, passion, challenges, breakthroughs & a spirit of partnership epitomized by Tripartism”

AI is changing the world of work. But how can we make sure it works for everyone? At the #AIforGood Global Summit in Geneva, the @‌ilo will bring a clear message: artificial intelligence must support #DecentWork and contribute to better working conditions for all.

Cooperatives create jobs and contribute to stability and community resilience in times of crisis. On #CoopsDay, let's recognize their role in strengthening local economies and bringing people together to promote lasting peace, rooted in decent work and social justice.

Celebrating 100 years of the Centre William Rappard: from the @ilo’s first headquarters to the home of @wto. 📸 The exhibition “A Cornerstone of International Geneva: Centre William Rappard 1926–2026” is on view until September.

Un siècle d’histoire au cœur de la Genève internationale. Heureuse d’avoir participé aux célébrations du centenaire du Centre William Rappard, symbole de dialogue et de coopération internationale. Félicitations à @ilo et @wto pour cette initiative, qui a mis à l’honneur un patrimoine commun tourné vers l’avenir. @VilleDeGeneve

Today, together with the @ilo and Swiss and Geneva authorities, we marked the centenary of the Centre William Rappard, the WTO’s home, highlighting its unique place in the history of multilateralism and its role in fostering dialogue, cooperation and trust.

Pleasure to join @wto DG @NOIweala and the Swiss authorities to celebrate the centenary of the Centre William Rappard, the original home to @ILO.   Its many artworks are a vibrant call to work for peace, justice, social dialogue & cooperation. Values at the heart of int. Geneva.

15 years ago, ILO Convention No. 189 recognized domestic work as real work. Yet millions of domestic workers still lack labour rights, social protection and decent conditions. Learn more: ow.ly/P44x50Zc90m #RatifyC189

More than 6️⃣0️⃣% of all working children are in the agricultural sector (crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries or aquaculture). We must protect children's rights and end child labour worldwide 🌎. #EndChildLabour

We need to ensure that migrant workers have access to decent work and that enterprises can find the skills they need. It's not just a matter of fairness. Skills recognition, fair recruitment, social protection and rights at work are key for resilient & productive labour markets.

As care needs grow, one question gets harder to ignore: why are care skills still so often under-recognized, undervalued and poorly paid? ILO report explains: ow.ly/cLK250YUslY

At #PeacebuildingWeek, the @‌ilo highlighted decent work and social justice as cornerstones of lasting peace. A high-level panel on the Joint Statement on Jobs and Peace explored how rights, social protection, inclusion and social dialogue help build lasting peace.
