The United Nations World Day of Social Justice is observed annually on 20 February and is based on the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization . Unanimously adopted by the ILO on 10 June 2008, the declaration recognises that a strong social dimension to globalisation is imperative when it comes to achieving improved and fair outcomes for all and, at the same time, that the achievement and maintenance of peace and security within and among nations is dependent on social development and social justice.
