Egypt welcomed the adoption of a resolution permitting Palestine to participate in the activities of the International Labour Organization (ILO), following a vote at the 114th session of the International Labour Conference in Geneva. According to the Egyptian Ministry of Labour, the draft resolution was approved by the majority, receiving 394 votes in favour and 17 against. The vote, held on Tuesday during the Conference, was preceded by earlier decisions within the ILO framework that clarified Palestine’s legal status and participation rights. Egyptian officials emphasized that the resolution’s adoption is significant because it aligns Palestine’s participation more closely with its internationally recognized standing across multilateral forums, while strengthening its ability to take part in ILO work. The ministry noted that the Conference had previously approved a resolution addressing Palestine’s legal status within the ILO and granting it non-member observer state status, along with a range of participation rights related to ILO meetings and activities.
